## Background

So, long ago in my writing I wrote a chapter where a book housing a specific missing chapter was found in a treasury. As you can tell, it's super ultra convenient to just have it in the treasury all along and skip out about 10,000 words that I decided to edit out after writing it.

I wrote a chapter to the writing yesterday morning but deleted all of it yesterday and replaced it with something else. Why? Because I was making something else really conveniently found in a treasury. I decided that considering I already used the convenient treasury find, I would make the characters go on the mission I planned for book 1 to get the important plot item.

## Question

> Is it bad writing to say, have an event that is repeated? For my example, having something found in a treasury, and then having something else later found in a treasury?
