Unless you update the program, like I did yesterday.
I edited seven chapters and then rewrote chapter 17.
I had slipped into head hopping so I knew I needed to rewrite it.
I did the hard work. I threw out stuff I could not reasonably rewrite and I rewrote the whole chapter.
Yesterday afternoon, I got this cute little pop-up message on Microsoft Word telling me that it need to update.
When I finished for the day, I closed everything. I save before I close even with auto save enabled.
I was so very careful because I knew that I had rewritten a whole chapter. I saved the original chapter under a different name.
I did not lose the saved original chapter but I lost all of yesterdays edits and the chapter rewrite.
Today, I did the edits again. Now I am procrastinating rewriting chapter 17 by complaining.
Yes, I did a web search on ways to possibly recover my work. Nothing I could do would bring it back.
Now I will rewrite chapter 17 one again.
Pray for me!
