A Good Thing

On the bright side, my computer was unharmed by the repeated surges prior to the power outage, which is good because I hadn't done a new backup in a couple of months. ^.^;;

Funny. The last two months' worth of Prophecy writing represents maybe 40 hours of work, if that. And having written it once already, writing it down again would probably take even less time.

Whereas it would take me a few hundred hours at my Toddler Bank job to pay for a drainage system in the basement

Yet the thought of spending all that money to fix the basement is far less troubling to me than the thought of having to re-write the last several chapters of Prophecy.

I'll go make that backup now.

Yeek. That's the sort of thing I've always dreaded. I've seldom kept the weekly backups that I've wanted to, but all my writings have been backed-up multiple times during the time that I'm working on them.

Glen Cook writes all of his books out longhand. He's finished at least one novel in a notebook, and then never been able to find the notebook since. :( I'm glad I've never been one for handwriting stuff!
