startrekbigbangstartrekbigbangstartrekbigbang I signed up this morning.
And after the personal drama that
trekreversebang caused me, I don't know why I'm willing to put myself through this again, except that when it comes to writing I guess I'm some kind of masochist.
Yeah, yesteday, oy. I had over 11,000 words written, about 5000 of them edited and ready to post. I was trying to cut and paste the last 6000 words from one google doc to the other and because it is the crappiest interface ever, it locked up and then proceeded to eat that 6000 words. I think the entire condo complex heard the NO that came screaming out as it happened. I was in tears. I went on the worst crying jag since my mother passed away nine years ago.
Thank heavens my beta is smarter than me because she saw my screaming e-mail and talked me down from the ledge. Turns out that google docs has a REVISION HISTORY. In the File menu. Which I don't use very frequently, admitted, but in the FILE MENU. Duh.
So, the fic was saved, Christmas was saved for puppies and kittens, the condo complex was not borne away in a flood of tears, never to be seen again and I did not renege on posting my fic!
And now I want to do it again.
Go, me?
