I've been writing a book, but there's been a problem....

Post Reply New Topic

simply put... I lost all of my work!! ! it's been completly deleted from my comptuer due to software issues.
I recently began to write more after this issue accured, but I have no printer connection as of yet.
(i can fix this when I find the printer startup disk) but I'll never get my work back...

just out of curiosity, I'll ask a short little question,

What do you think the basic idea from my book? that would be...

Main character is young adult female. ( I won't say her name 'cuase I can't risk it being stolen.)

she isn't entirly human, but it's hardly noticable. (can't say what that means)

It's meant to be more of an emotional story.

perhaps such a story would be liked by people with asperger's when you consider that fact that most of the characters have similer mental disablitys or issues with family, (that's a big part of it) almost all the female characters carry memorys of past abuse from their fathers, and most male characters act kind of girly, but there arent' a lot of males in in the story anyway.

I think my favorite thing about it is that all characater have unique and unuasual personalitys...
What do you think?

Was this your first draft that you lost?

Yes and no, I've wrote severel different versions, and lost all of them, some where nearly complete and others needed more work.

Have you tried a ristore point on your computer?

I lost an entire book i wrote when XP Windows Microsoft Works upgraded to Windows MS Word 2003.
I know how devistating it is cause i couldnt recover it from the file format and it annoyed me to bits...

now I make sure i back everything up.

Yeah, i restored my computer... to the point where i lost everything, all the data in my computer just was destroyed due to severe software issues.

I don't trust my computers, so I ALWAYS keep a backup copy of my work. I usually email/save as draft any current version of my novel, and I update the draft daily. So if my computer crashes or something, I always have a saved version in the mail.

Your story seems intriguing, but there isn't enough information to tell.
