I'll import a document, save it, it shows it saved, then the computer has no iea where it is. It proves my computer has a sick sense of humor. How about this for a murder mystery?

Sometimes I can't find the file the following morning, but I do eventually. :)Jean Henry Meadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146960738692672013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-20199068145920032992011-08-10T13:34:35.604-05:002011-08-10T13:34:35.604-05:00Shane, I wish I could tell you how many notes I...Shane, I wish I could tell you how many notes I've written on napkins and receipts to retain an idea. One sentence is all I need to get back on track. In your case, don't answer your phone until you've jotted it down. (I know, easier said than done:)Mark W.

As nerdy as it sounds, I've often thought of carrying a little notebook in my pocket for ideas that come to me during the day. So often I'll think of something as I'm going about my activities of daily living, but have nothing to write with, and then my cell phone will ring, and just like that the idea, sentence is gone.Shane Cashionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842609633094503223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-87425842020939159672011-08-10T10:11:20.575-05:002011-08-10T10:11:20.575-05:00I agree, Bill.

I was sure that's where your posting was heading because it's happened to me so often - conceiving plots so intricate and so perfect that the book seems already written, then falling (smugly) asleep only to have no recollection of any of it when I get up.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07675643113010061969noreply@blogger.com
