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.

Well, I was never in any danger of losing all of it. The last backup I had made did have the first, oh, 22 months' worth of work. It was only the last two months that could potentially get lost. strangess has most of the files, too. And I have a CD copy at work of most of it. There's the potential to lose some of the novel to catastrophic failure, but the odds are excellent that I wouldn't lose all of it. :)
