Lets form a search party

I finished a chapter yesterday.  I saved it.  I’m certain I did.  So where the f**k is it?  Gritting my teeth and fighting back tears, I searched and searched my files for it.  It was like it never existed.  All panicky, I went to beg My Honey for help.  He couldn’t find it either.

I cried myself to sleep.  That’s probably a pretty good sign that I need more.  Sleep that is.  Not tears.  I woke up this morning resigned, if a little puffy.

It’s gone.  Totally gone.  I’ll have to rewrite it.  Pages that are lost take on a mythic quality.  Nothing you write to replace them will ever seem as good.
