Just when you thought it was safe...
So I decided to muck about and see if I couldn't get everything on the laptop shared and transferred over to the computer.
WELL! Lemme tell you something. I don't know how or why, but everything I did last night in terms of tense changes was GONE.
GONE, baby. Effin' GONE.
I don't know how considering I saved every little thing I did any time I had to move away from the stupid thing.
Anyway, there was a segment that I was removing and putting back in a different part, and then a re-write for the missing piece which I've posted over on the
soupkitchen.
Luckily, both segments were saved in their own files. The piece I took out, however, was ALSO edited and then put BACK INTO the full copy of the book. (So even if by some completely unrealistic chance I had NOT saved the whole thing by that point, I most assuredly did when I reintroduced it in a different part of the book.
OH. And also, that edit for that segment? Yeah. Didn't save either.
Thankfully, I only had about 7 pages to do (not including the reworked segment) so I just sped through and got half of them done right now.
I have a funeral tomorrow so I need to hold off on the last part until later.
Aggravating though. UGH!
