argh
I can't believe I did that. Well, I can, but then I'm stupid.
I was backing files up on the current manuscript yesterday, from the netbook to the flash drive and on to the desktop as one does, and I copied the files in the wrong direction. From the flash drive to the netbook, instead of the other way around.
I lost over two chapters' worth of revisions in the process.
I didn't mean to copy them over on top of the other versions, either (I normally save them as separate files on each machine) -- but I goofed. I don't know how I managed to do that, but I goofed.
Sigh. I haven't done anything that monumentally stupid since the two times I lost data on True Gold.
I was up to the last chapter, too. Almost done. Dammit.

But I'm going to finish the revisions by the end of the week, anyway, darnit!

We all make dumb mistakes sometimes.
