So I done goofed · 11:03am Feb 13th, 2021
So while working on the next chapter on A long road back, I was just barely 3000 words in. Then you wanna know what happens next? I accidentally bumped the touch pad on my laptop and clicked the close tab button, didn't get a chance to save, lost everything I had written. Completely derailed my train of thought and I nearly spiked the computer into the wall. So it's gonna be a little while on the next chapter as I've got to completely regather my thoughts.
Yikes, that had to hurt. If it will help you, you might want to exercise saving your chapter after every paragraph you complete. Trust me, I learned that the hard way when I made so much progress on a file without saving, before the program decided to crash on me.
Also, make sure you keep your cursor well away from any button that could exit or close the page in any way.
Just some friendly advice, please don't take this personally.
I remember when that happened to me back in July of last year.
Completely destroyed my motivation for writing for a while...
Take your time
