So last night, I wrote a fairly long blog about my usual list of random stuff, and saved a draft on blogger, and today it's gone.  The title of the post is still there, but the post itself can't be recovered.  
Among other things, I was writing about the notepad I keep by my bed.  I jot down quick notes when I wake up in the middle of the night and stumble onto some "brilliant" idea.  I started doing this when I wrote Nobody Gets the Girl, and it worked well then.  I was actually jotting down stuff that proved useful in writing the story.  Ever since, not so much.  Currently I have a column down the edge of one page where I've written--
nothing
nothing
nothing
nothing
-- and next to this I've written the words "thin nog" and underlined it three times. 
I wish it meant something, but, alas, the nothings probably mean nothing.  
I've toyed with the idea of writing a novel entitled "Nothing."  I already have published a novel about "Nobody."  I could write a third book called "Nowhere" and have a nihilistic trilogy.  Maybe I shouldn't feed reviewers such easy straight lines though.  
There was also a bit about the Justice League in the lost post, but I'm bored with the idea right now.  Maybe later.
