Great wordage, Saoirse, Liz and Wonder!
Sorry to hear, IAMWRITER. If you were using MSWord, it does automatically do a backup every few minutes, and once you reboot and reopen the program, it should do a recovery of the last open document.
Personally, I save each time I complete a paragraph, and I have my thumb drive already attached to the USB slot and backup to it as soon as I wrap up.
Speaking of wrapping up, this current chapter appears to want to ramble on and on. A whopping
638 today which brings the WIP WC to
30575!
Topped my 30K goal for the month and still have a lot of month left over!
