Most frustrating moment as a writer

(1/5) > >>

Cophet:
Okay. Here's the thing. I'm typing up ideas for a project I want to start. Lots of notes, lots of good notes, but good notes are not saved notes. The fates, those sadistic old hags that killed MacBeth, sent a power surge my way. Hours of plot, characterization, setting and betrayal, down the drain.

So I ask you, friends. Feed me your amusing tales of woe. I fear only schadenfreude will heal this hurt.

I have, by the way, learned my lesson, and am now saving every few minutes. My keyboard learned its lesson, too; it took a minute to get all the keys back in their places.

Murphy's Stunt Double:
I still have in my head the bones of a story I began writing almost 15 years ago, on a 5 1/4 inch floppy disk, which did not make it through an international move and computer upgrade. I have no idea where that disc is, but the story that is on it was good, and every time I try to recreate it, it comes out differently. Grrrrrrrr....

Cophet:
See now, that makes me feel better.

twinswin123:
I wrote the first half of the story. Printed it and forgot to save. then my dog seriously, not even joking, pissed on it.   Now i cant even rewrite it without thinking about dog piss

Murphy's Stunt Double:
What kind of dog to you have TW?


If he were mine, he'd be a eunich by now.
