A Writer's Worst Fear

Not much to say here except I had a minor heart attack when I left my laptop to take a snack break and returned to find... true horror. The damn device had updated and rebooted in my absence, resulting in the loss of a 2000+ word story I was nearly done with.

There's nothing worse than the feeling of losing hours worth of work. I had resigned myself to this and lamented the loss of a great entry when I found a tab with autosaved documents. I almost lost it again, this time out of joy.

I'm extremely pleased because there was no way I was going to rewrite all of that again. Fate has smiled upon me at last it seems. The lesson? SAVE EVERYTHING FOR YOUR SANITY.
