i just reformatted my com.

like, i went out and bought myself a thumb drive earlier this week, and i used the thumb drive to upload a backup of my files to my bro's lappy. and then i reformatted my lappy.

and just now, while i was looking for the blog entry i typed out last night on his com, i was shocked to see that i couldnt find ANYTHING related to my writing. and i was horrified cos i KNOW i zipped my entire 'my writing' folder. so i thought that OMG, i must have zipped it and then forgot to send it to the thumb drive to be backed up!!!!

GARRGH! *WHAT* a NIGHTMARE!!!

it turns out that it's there in my bro's com. *phew*. What happened was that when it was sent to zip, i forgot to change the name of the zipped folder to 'my writing', so the whole time i was hunting down for a 'my writing', it was sitting there under a different name all along.

*phew*
*phew*
*phew*
*phew*
*phew*
*phew*
*phew*

as some of you guys might know, i write. a lot. erm... wait, the very fact that you're in my blog prob means that you *do* know i write. or if you havent, you do now that you've been here.

but you see, not all my pieces are uploaded to the net. like, i have bits of writing scattered around in a couple of archives, and quite a number in my blog writing archive but it's not all there.

it's not all there cos it's not all good. but just because it's not good doesnt mean i dont like them... *sob* aw man... i thought i had just deleted the entire 'my writing' folder!!!! ARRRGH!

like, my novelette is in there!!! My novelette and the geographic maps for the novelette and character sketches and drawings and progression maps i've done up to trace the development of my writing and the different drafts and *everything*, even the formatted final draft of the first two parts of the novelette. and i thought it was all lost.... *shudder*

alhamdulillah... thank god it's still there. it's such a relief!
