i… swear i wrote a whole bunch of stuff for chapter 5, including a bunch of stuff about the TIE pilot, and I even gave him a callsign, and– I’m looking through all my WIP docs and I can’t find a blessed word of it.
It’s easy enough to search– I’d nicknamed him Bolt, so I’m just ctrl+f the name. And it does not appear in any of the documents I thought I had been working in.
Of course, it’s much harder than usual, see, because I’ve been looking through my older WIPs, so if I look at my “recent documents” queue it is longer than my arm, and has a lot of irrelevant material in it, only some of which I can easily identify as irrelevant.
But this is really annoying and kind of a problem and really just what I get for being so stupid as to think I could work in more than one fictional universe at once.
I swear to Christ I wrote a couple thousand words and I remember that I was going to discard most of them but– come on, I was going to mine them for what I’d figured out by writing them, and now I can’t even find them!
WTF.
