I've been encouraged several times to write a book, so I started focusing to get all these thoughts down. I downloaded them to a disc, just in case...the disc has a tiny deep scratch embedded. I have no idea how this happened but several months are caput, gone, zero, nada...yep.

I decided to not have so many sites I was using so I could work on my great masterpiece...well, guess we won't be seeing this on PBS.lol
If my DH starts working out of town, I can start over, a new start isn't always so bad...

Brain, just in case you read this...it also had all the publishing info you sent me. I know I should have written this info down...smack, owww...that hurt. I know how you kids feel now when I smack ya.

yOU HAVE TO BACK UP. i HAVE TO ASK MY TEENS TO DO IT SOMETIMES.

Read again - you did back up. Sorry.

Oh, Momma, that's just awful.

There are places that repair discs. Maybe they could recover a portion of what was on it?

Do start again. I'd love to read a book written by you. I'll bet it'd have a down-home folksy style like Mark Twain.

UGH! I can't tell you how many things like this have happened to me, too. Do keep at it though - I mean, as much as you write anyway, why not?



I don't have that pm where I wrote that info, and the book I got it from is packed up someplace. But for now is can tell you this.... Look up Accentuate Writer's forum. They have a thread for paying and non paying markets. I get a lot of good leads there, and the people are really supportive.

My name there is rudy2.


Good luck!

Thank you my sweets...and I will keep at it...I backup to a disc when I clean my hard drive. Since I saved them to docs before the disc I might still have some of it stored on the back up discs.

Thanks my lil Brain, I will check it out. I can probably get a lot done now that my DH is working out of town and will be gone most of the time. I might get to see him in a couple of weeks if he can come home.
