Call me an idiot, but once again I've lost my file, yeah the file I was writing MM II in. Didn't back it up, didn't use Google Docs (musta been those few hours when I was possessed by ... nah, I was just lazy) and yesterday some workmen switched off my computer (well, pulled the main plug) and when I got back to the PC I can't find or open the file.
I'm currently trying to recover it, but if I can't I may have to cancel Metal Month II, or at worse really put it back. I have way too much written to be able to catch up in time for October, and I have neither the heart nor the wit or memory to rewrite what I already have done. I'm pretty depressed about it.
I'm using OpenOffice so any assistance would be great. There are no backup files in the directory, I created a new user profile and tried to rename the temp file, all to no avail. This annoys me so much when it happens, and yet I don't learn.
Anyway, hopefully I will be able to recover the file, as I don't want to disappoint hundreds of you --- well, many of you --- well, some of you --- well, one or two of you. Maybe --- so keep your fingers crossed for me and if you have any ideas I'm all ears! So they tell me anyway.
Pray for me to Dio!
