*weeps*
So, normally I am a fanatic about backing shit up. I don't know why I didn't back up the file for Consort in four different ways, like I usually do. Maybe, maybe I copied it from my thumb drive to the Mac at home....maybe.
If I didn't, I am screwed. Completely. The file is....I don't know. It opens to all these little squares instead of words and wants to install a plugin for Word to even open it.
*SOB*
Remember when I first started it, and lost the first file? I had to start over, and then I was pleased because it ended up SO MUCH BETTER.
But I LOVED it this time, and I didn't just lose 500 words. I lost, I don't know. Five thousand? The entire beginning, plus a little bit from a later scene. I am FREAKING THE HELL OUT. And the worst part is, I have no one to blame but myself.
Back up your shit. I have like six copies of Nemesis in multiple locations, including as a "sent" file in my e-mail as a last resort. I cannot even BELIEVE I didn't do the same for Consort yet, especially after that first incident.
I'm going to be over here, sobbing over words lost. And wondering if by some miracle, I was smart enough to copy the most recent version of the file to my Mac. Or any version, even.
