I just lost three scenes from the new ending of 'Empire of Dust' with a single careless click. All today's work, in fact. I thought I had Word set to save automatically every ten minutes... in fact I did... so WTF is it?

I hate bloody Microshaft. (Okay, it's my fault, but I still hate bloody Microshaft!)

Nuff said.

If anybody has a magic retrieval spell please let me know.

AAAAAh!!! I hate it when this happens. I thought I'd lost a whole day's NaNoWriMo (3000+ words) saved on a corrupt disk, but someone recovered it for me. I also thought I'd lost some files at one point but they were in the recycle bin (how did they get there??) and I restored them. I have utter and complete faith that if you did it once, you can do it again. So if the worst comes to the worst (which it sounds like it has), you can redo them.
Commiserations and best wishes. PS -- don't think I have managed to say this to you yet, but I like EMPIRE OF DUST as a title... Somewhat more catchy than ALIEN CRANFORD (aka The Novel-Length Thing), which someday I must think up a real title for...

Thanks. 'Empire of Dust' is settling in well as a title. As soon as I've finished this bit I'll be sending it as promised - if that's still OK with you.

But 'Alien Cranford' has a certain ring to it too.
