eighthphaseI have a ton - a ton - of ficbits and unfinished stories. In fact, finding a finished story in my documents folder is really really hard. Every now and then I like to go through them all and read them to see where I was going, maybe add a bit here and there, or just enjoy where it ended up.
Most of these files are titles with the name/names of characters involved, though there are a few with lyrics or actual descriptions (broken bridge, she had the world, alchemically, where is your boy and its twin, you were the not this one - funny story with those two, actually; I could never remember which one I had decided to stick with and I was a little tired of writing both, so finally I got frustrated, picked one, and renamed the other). I remember, this one time, I had this awesome idea. I jotted down a couple of sentences, and then got pulled away from the computer, so I named the file something actually related to the idea so that I wouldn't forget it.
It clearly didn't work, because I've never been able to remember what the idea was. The title (of another place and time) doesn't help. The sentences I have (Christie wasn't the type of person to get worked up over the little things, Dave knew. If anything, that was his job. So when) don't help either.
It annoys me to no end, because I know I was going somewhere with that. I just... can't remember where I was going with it! D:
