OK.

Collecting is fine, but instead of using `org-log-beginning', I suggest
to factor out parts you need (e.g. find the log drawer, if any).

Note that if `org-log-into-drawer' is nil, you can only find all notes
heuristically (they might be scattered across the section). In this
case, finding the last note is safer.

When the storing is done, i.e. after calling `org-store-log-note'.
However, you would need persistent data to save log notes across
sessions. So it isn't a good idea after all.
