Things found in old books

A few weeks ago I found some notes about " The Blood lands " " Something something Questing Area " in " Shadows over Innsmouth " the ballantine compilation edited by Stephen Jones. A note by some GM about a game they were planning. Today in " Life in the Undergrowth " , I found a trace of a moth. I love finding these wisps of deferred creativity. I imagine I find more of them here, in prison library books. To me, it feels like these shreds are sacred in some way. I save even some of my more base sketches . Perhaps its a vague idea that I have that every sincere creative project has merit, and these are pieces of a holy process, and to discard them is irreverent.
