The second edition of my book

[rebelatsea]

I have bad news I'm afraid. Somehow the manuscript file became corrupted and I have lost the whole d**n thing. However I still have the orginal manuscript on a different drive, and all the vessel plans.

Sadly that means I will have to reconstruct all the changes.

No thumb drive backup? I back up my writings daily on the thumbdrive and always endnote things incase I mess up the manuscript and lost part of what I've written,

You made a good case for always backing up important files, preferably to multiple locations.

It was the file on the thumb drive with all the changes - that's Soddes Law.

(Shrugs shoulders, thanks God that there IS a back up - and gets on with it!!)

That's not quite the expression I used !!

Swore like a sailor did you? That's totally understandable, of course, given the circumstances.
