Stupid is as stupid does

Get this: on the plane trip back from Arizona on Thursday, I tucked the novel notebook into the seat back pocket, read the rest of the new Jonathan Franzen book, and then got off the plane and came home. Yesterday, I started looking around for the note book with a dozen pages of notes and plot outlines and the first scene pretty much written out and poof! Nowhere.

Oh yeah. On the airplane. Idiot.

Comments:
Just think ... some businessman from Dayton will pick it up, read it, love it, tell his sister who's in publishing in NY and she'll sign you to a multi-million dollar contract!
 
My son suggested a similar story, only it landing with a Hollywood agent who'd cough up the millions.

Sadly, I'm 99.9996 percent sure my name or contact info appears nowhere on it.

Sigh.
 
Even better! It will be like a literary Cinderella. They'll hunt all over the internet to find you and when they finally find you, the asking price will be a few gadzillion bucks!
 
My only hope of winning the webwide internet hunt is a handwriting comparison test, because mine's so awful only I could/would be able to match the penmanshit.
