I have done it again. Lost more than a page or two of manuscript. There I was typing away and my fingers got off the home keys and apparently typed in a code that the computer understood as a command to delete everything. Whine.
I looked everywhere and could not retrieve what I had written that day and several more days before. That’s what I get for not manually saving regularly. Silly me. I thought the computer was doing that. It was to the hard drive, but not to my backup drive. I had an older version saved, but I’m still going to have to recreate many, many pages of book.
Therefore, the book will not be ready as soon as I’d expected.
