We’ve been doin’ a lot of tribulatin’ around here lately; and this morning another pile of bricks without straw was added to our load.
Ozias, Prince in Peril went missing.
No! No! The whole cotton-pickin’ novel! Eight sets of chapters floating around in cyberspace. My editor, Susan, got a new computer recently… and guess what wasn’t on it? And as luck would have it, we, too, got a new computer. And I couldn’t find my chapter sets.
By and by I happened to think of my webmaster, Jill, at Chalcedon. If she didn’t know what to do, no one would.
Huzzah! She did know! And she walked me through it, and we recovered the whole book, all the chapters. And now I know what to do if (heaven forbid) it happens again.
I guess I’d better post some nooze today, I’m too worn out to go back to Ozias Prince Enthroned. Try again tomorrow.
Oh, Mr. Duigon, that must have been scary! I’m glad you got your book back.
It was a very bad two hours.
I can imagine. It’s so bad to lose something like that.
The horror, the horror…!
Ah, now that you’ve recovered the book, I can give my lecture that I always used to give: ALWAYS KEEP BACKUPS! 😬 That means backups in different places, like computer files backed up to thumb drives, not to mention paper printouts. As soon as you’ve finished working on a file, BACK IT UP … to a different place … and maybe even print out a copy, which I usually do.
Anyway, I’m glad you finally found the manuscript. 😊
It was here, fully backed-up, all along. I just had to be taught where to look for it.
That kind of stress could take a year off your life. I’m glad it was short-lived!
Thank goodness.
Oh, thank God!!
