You know what is so frustrating!!!

I was sitting here trying to write on my computer because I have been secretly writing my own book. I was pretty proud of my first chapter and let my hubby read it. He loved it. I hit save and closed it out. Then when I went to bring it back up, it didn't freaking save it!!!! The whole last half of the chapter gone!!!

OMG!!! Torture! Now I have to try and remember what I wrote while I actually had a creative moment.

Microsoft Word sucks sometimes!!!!

CallMeKayla said...: That really bites! I have too have been writing my own stuff, for about six months now. I would die if all my 160 something pages were lost. Thankfully, it hasn't happened to me yet, and I keep copies of everything on another drive.; January 11, 2010 at 5:28 PM
Nicole Settle said...: That sucks!!1 Bummer! This is why I save constantly and I back my stuff up. Hope you can remember everything you wrote!; January 11, 2010 at 5:31 PM
Blanche said...: Oh no! I hope you remember it all!!; January 11, 2010 at 5:33 PM
Michelle Santiago said...: oh yikes that really sucks! a thumb drive really helped when i was doing college papers. good luck with remembering; January 11, 2010 at 5:37 PM
Marce said...: OMG, I find that only needs to happen once before you remember to save after every great thought or at least page.

Feel your pain.; January 11, 2010 at 5:49 PM
Ann Elle Altman said...: Oh, I have so done that. Now I'm pretty obsessive about my work. I save copies of my books everywhere: online, email, external hard drives, my palm, paper... But, take comfort in the fact that the moment of inspiration will come again.

SariJ said...: Oh this is a great fear of mine. I am so so sorry to hear this happened. Perhaps you will not only remember what you wrote, but be able to do so without a lot of fuss. Good luck with the book. I wish you the best.; January 11, 2010 at 9:15 PM
Paranormal and Romantic Suspense Reviews said...: Oh my god! I'm sorry to hear that and I hope you remember what you wrote!

Good luck with the book!; January 11, 2010 at 9:35 PM
L. Diane Wolfe said...: Save often and print every page!

I am SO paranoid about that. After six books, I've learned to save after every paragraph, print each page, back up every other day on an external hard drive, and once a month save it to a CDRom. Worst case scenario, since I hand-write every book first, I can always fall back on that.

Sorry you lost so much, but maybe the next rewrite will be even better!; January 12, 2010 at 4:43 AM
TannyP said...: Writing your own book, hey?! What a wonderful way to start the new year =) Hopefully your rewrite is even more fabulous, Amy!; January 12, 2010 at 6:52 AM
Tierney O'Malley said...: What genre, Amy?
Sorry you lost your work. Save and send your work to yourself my friend.

Amy J said...: Well, I started out within erotica. Then I had another story pop up in my mind. I am doing a paranromal romance.; January 12, 2010 at 7:14 AM
Amy J said...: AS you can tell from my previous comment, I use spell check alot as well! LOL; January 12, 2010 at 7:15 AM
