The terrible moment when

[nineveh_uk]

You have the perfect line to conclude the scene and then the phone rings, you get distracted, don't write it down, and then by the time you come to write again, it's gone never to recovered. It probably wasn't perfect, but it was certainly a lot better than anything else I've thought of so far.

I assume the phone call was from Porlock...

My mother, which makes it worse because I could easily have asked her to ring back in 5 minutes.

Oh NO!!!

It's terrible! It hasn't come back and clearly isn't going to. Fortunately it was a rough pencil draft, so when I write it properly something may appear.

A person from Porlock on the line, no doubt?

Only metaphorically, but just as frustrating!
