I don't know if you keep up with Jo Rowling's website, but she said something similar about her notebooks. This was in her new year's resolutions this year, which are now posted in various places on the Web, but no longer on her site. Her second resolution was to not lose any more notebooks:

After a somewhat panicky few weeks I have finally located a missing notebook. As always when I mislay these things, I had been 'remembering', in its absence, that it contained notes so essential and ideas so imaginative that I would never be able to duplicate them, and the whole of the next book would be impoverished if they were never found. Now that I have said notebook beside me on this desk, however, I see that it contains few useful nuggets amid a lot of complete dross. Nevertheless, the stress I endured while believing it to be the notebook equivalent of the Holy Grail was enough to remind me that I must take better care of my working materials.
