mmegaeraI 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.
