But then I read it again and it was a bit 'meh'. Also I missed the weekend window for Flickr Fiction, which is what I wanted it for.

Or ... umm ... maybe it <i>is</i> bad, and I should be worried? I often end up forgetting things - especially when I'm baking - and will be standing in the middle of the kitchen, saying to myself, "I know I'm supposed to be doing something ..." and will, when I remember it, promptly forget it again. Cleaning is much the same. Tell me, though: did you take the trouble to type the piece out, now that you've found it? You know, it’s not so bad, really.

At least it was in a notebook. A certain someone <i>I</i> know has been known to write stories by flashlight on the back of envelopes, or on sticky notes, or on any blank-ish scrap of paper ... and then they pile up somewhere, to be found at random weeks or months later. <b>And</b> ... you remember that you wrote it, and didn't completely forget it the moment it was down on paper.
