A couple of years ago, I started writing a play titled "In the Court of the Sea King." It was written on a small pad (5x8 or so), and was up to 28 pages (single side). Then it got packed away in a box and I didn't see it for a while. While looking for something else, I found it again. This morning will be used to type it into the computer and then backing it up so I don't have to hunt for it again.
I had almost given up on finding it, and wrote out an outline of it so I could start again. I was very happy to see that the outline and the written draft were more or less the same.
