If you invoke org-capture and then create a note1 while the
capture is active (as I'm doing now), you might be very surprised
when you press C-c C-c to finish the note -- it vanishes!
Don't Panic!
In order to see the note, you'll need to press C-c C-c a second time
to complete the capture. Then org-capture adds the item into the
Org file, along with the note.
My preference in this situation is to write only the first phrase
or sentence of the note. Then I issue the two presses of C-c
C-c and complete the note at its destination. I do this
not only to avoid the "scary missing note" scenario; I also worry
about leaving work unsaved for any amount of time. The computers I
grew up with were prone to crashing at inopportune times, so I
adopted the motto, "Save Early; save often." An Org note is
composed in the *Org Note* buffer, which has no file associated
with it and therefore is not a good candidate for saving.
