Tears & Frustration

[Catherine Rivet]

*Something* killed my backup ZIP drive, and in the process wiped everything I'd had saved to said disk at the time of the crash. And I mean completely wiped, as in the computer doesn't even read it as an empty formatted or unformatted disk. It's as though the disk itself doesn't exist when you insert it in the new drive. Being the backup copy, it shouldn't have been such a big deal...except that just prior to that my hard drive crashed and lost the original. Ergo, *everything* I've worked on since 2004 and had backed up to that disk is *gone*. Including the entirety of Gods of Light and Shadow, Immortal Legacy, Of Demons and Seahorses, and most of the When in Rome arc for Chaos Rising. Among other things.

I think I'm going to cry now.
