But today, I lost the lot - more than a years work down the pan in a second. I had got it on automatic save every 10 minutes, but none of it was saved.

I had emailed it to myself, but I was missing about three hard chapters. :P (My super-dad recovered it though :D) I totally freaked. I was "never going to write again!!" I can laugh about it now, but it sure wasn't funny then. Ever since, I've saved all my work in three different locations, a thumbdrive, in an email, and on my computer.Tiffanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-67403164782461872272012-08-23T20:59:17.457-05:002012-08-23T20:59:17.457-05:00I had just recently had a writing mishap.
