I'm back, with great news everyone! As you know, I lost my yellow notebook, that had a couple chapters in it. I was upset and angry and definetly didn't want to rewrite everything (which is what I convinced myself would happen). Obviously, it wasn't the complete end of the world, but I had a little bit of a meltdown.
But I still hadn't successfully found it, and on Thursday i was about to just give up and write the dang thing. Hell, eventually I would have to anyway. As I decided this, who walks up? Beta-reader. (That's her official title btw)
Now it should be noted that during the Great Hunt, Beta annoyed me everyday, wondering whether I had found it yet. So when she came up to me on Thursday I was already to deflect her question.
"Did you find the yellow notebook yet?" She asked, overly-cheerful for it being 7:30 a.m. on a cold rainy morning. So I rolled my eyes and walked around her.
"No, I didn't." Truthfully, I was more concerned with pushing people out of my way to get to the only mode of transportation I had with heat; the bus.
"Good, because I have it."
I nearly pounced on her and tore the notebook off her body. What did she mean she had it? This whole time? With her being annoying everyday? SHE HAD IT?
One long story and angry bus ride later, I had my precious yellow notebook as well as my crushed (mauled, destroyed, beyond repair) notepad with the last chapter on it.
So I have my notebook! And I have started working on my query which has been cheerfully ripped apart at Absolute Write forums. Yay! Next post, I'll put it up...if I can find the pieces.
