Dear Readers,
I have some bad and sad news. While working on chapter 13 yesterday, my floppy took some time uploading another chapter and I ejected the floppy disk. When I did this, errors appeared on my screen, the hard-drive began to churn and Microsoft Word didn't respond, I then lost my Chapter 13 because I hadn't yet saved it, but I can remember roughly what I had written. I then restarted my computer and when I tried to open my floppy disk, it said it wasn't formatted, if I chose to format the disk I would lose all information stored on it. This includes over 10 first chapters for stories that had taken me months to write including 'Guardian Angel' and 'On The Big Screen, Baby'. Although I can copy and paste those two stories from this site and save them onto the computer this time, I have lost everything else, which has made me so pissed off I began to cry this morning.
I know its stupid for me to cry over some pieces of writing, I'm not that bothered about most of them, I'll just rewrite them when I have time, but there was one, and it was kind of like 'On The Big Screen, Baby' not the story or the plot, but the fact it was almost five pages of description, which I can only do when I'm in a certain mood and I have a lot of time and there's no-one else home to disturb me, and that isn't that often.
I should be getting my own computer soon, my dad knows this guy who can modify our old computer for a low price, so when I get my computer, I can type more often. Or I can go over to my boyfriend's house and use his computer, that's unless my daughter has one of those I'm-the-centre-of-the- world days, which is surprisingly fading.
There is a solution, I don't know if it will work, but my sister's boyfriend is good with computers and she's going to give him the floppy and see if he can open it and put the information onto a CD, but it's very unlikely that it'll work.
I'm very sorry that I may not be able to update for a long amount of time, I'm even more sorry that it happened at a cliff-hanger, you'll all hate me now. But summer holidays is less than a week away, then I've finished school forever, then I have to get a job, Crap!
Oh well, hope you guys can forgive me for the inconvenience.
