I brought it in last Saturday, so why wasn't it done?

My last computer started sending smoke signals before it gave up the good fight. The tech said he'd never seen such a burned hard drive. Unfortunately, I hadn't backed up in a week and it was one of my more prolific weeks of writing. I lost the additions to my thesis and the works for a novel in progress. I now back up daily and watch for signs of smoke, ha.

Misery loves company, I guess.<BR/><BR/>Right now, I'm at an internet cafe trying to finish my manuscript in longhand. Heck, I wrote an entire mid-grade in longhand so I should be able to do two chapters, right?<BR/><BR/>- Jay<BR/><BR/>P.S. "The Day-Glo Brothers" sounds interesting, Chris.

How frustrating -- I hope you get your (writing) groove back soon.<BR/><BR/>This reminds me of the computer meltdown that a friend of mine experienced immediately upon her return from the ALA Midwinter Meeting, which had left her pumped up and in possession of a lengthy to-do list, all of which was thwarted by said meltdown.<BR/><BR/>So, it happens.
