You guys are so skillful and awesome you helped me without saying a word!

After looking around at
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/477/how-do-i-automatically-save-org-mode-buffers

(add-hook 'org-capture-mode-hook 'org-save-all-org-buffers)

I'll mark this solved. Org rocks, I don't rock.
