Within the past 12 hours I have realized that I lost two short stories at some point in the transition between my old computer and my new one. The first, entitled "ironic," i was sure I posted on LJ and would not have deleted, but I cannot seem to find the entry... and I remember around when I wrote it. This was not the fault of transferring.
However, I accidentally deleted the entire contents of my thumb drive and didn't realize it until I had permanently cleared my trash. I wasn't too torn up about it. There was some research stuff for a project that has been shut down... and I had it backed up elsewhere, but there was also about 3/4 of a memoir/autobiography/short story/ whatever that was meant to be a gift to Matt when completed. I guess I have to start again.
I am really upset about this. I now have some semblence of an understanding about how Kat felt when she thought all her photography was lost because her external hard drive crashed. I am very very upset, in particular, about the completed short story that is most likely missing forever. Damnit... and I was actually pretty proud of it.
