I wrote down all of those ideas, with notes about each, and thoughts about how to tie them together as a series, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Only problem: I have no idea where I wrote them down.<\/p>\n<p>The most likely places would be the Mac application and iOS app called Notes, where I used to take all my notes, or Evernote, where I take all my notes now. But I've done a thorough search of both of those (including the Notes apps on iPhone and iPad as well as Mac, because they stopped syncing a while back), to no avail.<\/p>\n<p>I've also searched my computer, and my draft blog entries, and my email, and Google Drive, and my unsaved BBEdit documents, and my old DEVONthink notes, and everywhere else I could think of. No dice.<\/p>\n<p>Possibilities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n  <li>I dreamed the whole thing. I have clear memories of writing it down, but I've had clear memories before that turned out to be inaccurate.<\/li>\n  <li>I wrote it on paper. I almost never do that these days, so it seems really unlikely, but I suppose it's possible.<\/li>\n  <li>It failed to save for some reason. I think maybe Notes on iPhone doesn't save a note unless you tap the Done button before exiting the app? Not sure.<\/li>\n  <li>It somehow got deleted. But I've searched my backup files.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Anyway, I've now spent way more time on this than I spent creating the list in the first place, and I've run out of places to look, so I guess it's time to give up. On the plus side, I did finally find out how to rescue various notes from email that never got auto-ported to the Notes application when that came along, and I've found out how to port those same notes from email into Evernote, so it hasn't been a total waste of time. Still, disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>I remember three of the themes, but there were at least three more (and I think more like nine more) that I can't think of. Ah, well. Maybe I'll remember them eventually, or maybe I'll think of others.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometime in the past year or two, I was thinking about anthologies I&#8217;d like to edit, and I came up&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[36,24,27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-editing","category-software","category-speculative-fiction"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14664\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
