My hard drive died last night - spectacularly or horribly depending on your point of view. The most frustrating thing about this is (shuffles foot a little) I hadn't made a backup yet this week! So all those new words on Thursday? Yeah - gone. :-( I mean - I wasn't 100% thrilled with them anyway - but they were there. I usually back up my writing files to a thumb drive after every writing session - but it was late; I was tired; and I thought, oh, I'll do it in the morning. *sigh* Luckily, I did have a backup and a spare 80GB drive, so the most I've lost is anything from about the last week. And a few of those things I have been able to reconstruct. Any new bookmarks from the last week are gone - but if those things occur to me again, I'm sure I'll find those sites again.
So this is my public service announcement to all writers: no matter how tired you are, back everything up.
And now I'm off to search for a new 160GB drive.
