Late last night, while poring over my manuscript, I scribbled that in the margin at the beginning of chapter 23. Or something resembling that. I have no idea what it means. Something important enough to scribble a note last night, but this morning? I can't even decipher it. I don't even know whether I was trying to correct some mistake or add something new.
I hate it when this happens. Off to reread the passage a few times to see if inspiration will strike twice.
"God and I both knew what it meant once; now God alone knows" - quote attributed to Friedrich Klopstock, German poet, 1724-1803. I hope you have more luck than he did reconstructing your note!
(Isn't that a wonderful name: Friedrich Klopstock? Now I'll have to find some of his poetry to see what he had to say for himself.)

Oh--this happens to me ALL the time. I can't tell you how often.
Also --people email me and say--"I got what I think is a thank you note from you--what does it say?"
good luck...crossing fingers for context..
