It's true. I have never felt such a rush of anger and anguish in my entire life.
And I guess it proves to me just how important my writing is.
I left three teenagers up last night and on my computer. I had told them time and time again not to upload junk. Well, I got up this morning and my comp was frozen. I rebooted. Got rid of a bunch of stuff they had indeed downloaded to the comp.
Then I did some promotional work for my new release His Sweet Obsession. Returned some emails. Talked to my friend Sarah Masters, a fabulous new author on the scene, I might add.
Then I proceeded to pull up my latest work from my Word file so I could get something accomplished. But it would no longer pop up for me. The file seemed to be there, but it would not upload for me. NOR WOULD ANYTHING ELSE!~ All my work! Several works in progress, notes over two years old. My heart and soul, GONE!
I frantically begin to deal with the situation. Two hours later, I have my files back. What did I discover? Those screwy file corrupting downloads were in my word program!
Usually, I let the kids sleep late on weekends. But let me tell ya! They just got a wake up call from HELL!!! TESS HELL!!!!

Yikes!!!!!
I'm glad you were able to get your files back. I had a similar wake-up call when my old comp died on me. Thank goodness for the tech guy at my local computer repair shop, who was able to move all my old files to an external hard drive.
Of course, I still don't back up as often as I should...
lol, Saroya...I like renting them out but I doubt anyone would pay. There are two other comps in the house, but mine seemed to be handy at the time, Now it is off limits forever and ever and ever and ever...
Oh man, having a 17 yr old and 13 yr old I can relate! Of course for me the computer is fun and games not my livelyhood. I think I'd be in jail in your situation. Just losing the stuff I did once was terrible. I have to admit that i didn't learn to do proper backups.
