My computer died on me *laugh*<\/p>\n
Haven’t heard back yet, but I suspect that my HD is toast.\u00a0 Good news is that most of my writing was backed up either on my USB drive or online.\u00a0 I still have all of Lowborn, and all of SOTM except for the changes I’ve made in the last few days.\u00a0 Those changes I can easily replicate.<\/p>\n
Some other things I have hardcopy of that I can scan back in, others I can retrieve from people who have copies, etc. etc.<\/p>\n
Lost every single word of Barren Harvest though.\u00a0 Ditto some cover images I’ve made and some other odds and ends.<\/p>\n
That is, unless I’m wrong and it wasn’t the HD.<\/p>\n
Once I hear back, I’ll figure out where I’m going from there.\u00a0 I was planning to replace the computer with a new one at tax time anyhow, so I may just jump-start that process.\u00a0 Going to build from scratch so I have upgrade capability and exactly what I want — without all the crap bundled software that gets put on “box” systems.\u00a0 Also have no need for any of the peripherals like mice and keyboards.<\/p>\n
All in all — not too horrible.\u00a0 I didn’t lose mounds of stuff that I can’t replace.\u00a0 Just a few annoying odds and ends here and there.<\/p>\n
Haven’t double checked all my online space either.\u00a0 So, there’s a chance that some of the stuff that I think I lost might actually be uploaded.<\/p>\n
Anyway, just wanted to drop a line.\u00a0 I shouldn’t be out of action for too long.\u00a0 Worst case scenario is mid-Feb., and that’s absolutely worst case that I wait until I have my tax return in hand.\u00a0 The plan is to be back up and running either on my old system or a brand new one by the weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
