So I am here again to update.. on the exasperating, jaw grinding frustration I have encountered in the last couple of weeks about getting my book done. I swear Higher Powers played this horrid and cruel act out upon me, perhaps it was in my best interest, however I am not amused. When I finally got all of my stuff moved in and took my computer equipment out of the packing box, plugged it in and was all set to get to work....Windows 7 Home Premium decides it will not load files and the program will not start. I wanted to kick the computer and smack the screen and swear viciously, as I had to go into the Recovery Options and click the button instructing Acer to reset EVERYTHING back to factory default. Thus every single page I had recently written and every file I recently had on my computer since February 2015 was erased as if it never existed. I lost about 5 chapters of work I had done on Book Two. I was up to the 40K word mark. I wanted to cry like a child throwing a huge tantrum and all Gods and Goddess Above knows that I have to be really worked up in a right state to cry over anything. I am sure I am not the only author to have had disastrous mishaps with their work, however I felt very cheated and kicked in the arse that I just had to erase so much work. Perhaps some God or Goddess that rules matters of writing and publishing did not like what I had written and decided to jolt my computer to where I needed to erase it all and start over where I had left off before.
On a brighter note, I have saved on a disc the older version of my books that I had saved from the last time my computer decided to malfunction and be a piece of shite. I just have to reload it into my documents, and start writing again where the last pages are saved, and rewrite everything that I lost until finally I am done and ready to load it into Create Space and Amazon KDP. Maybe I will not jinx myself and carefully and mindfully work extra hard on the "new" version. I have to get this done and there cannot be any more disasters! Perhaps since I changed my residence , the change in atmosphere and surroundings will also inspire more creativity and ideas for my book? Why exactly I have had such a struggle and so many issues getting the second book even halfway finished I honestly cannot tell you! The entire project has had this ridiculously infuriating streak of bad luck and I have had a almost eerie amount of problems and mishaps in just even getting halfway written , let alone published. Perhaps my Word Starter Program needs a actual sage smudging the next time I open it? I need to clear out whatever negative virtual energy that seems to have attached itself and is permeating itself into to the file that says "The Darkened Path Book 2: The Witch of Lone Oak" Right at this minute I am desperate enough to try anything, even to Bless and Cleanse my computer and the specific program and the files I need to work on! I am going to be going for now and I will be back soon , everyone have a good week and Bright Blessings!
