What’s that feeling when you are about a week or two away from the deadline to submit to your developmental editor, and your computer crashes, which means you’ve lost a week’s worth of work on the draft you just finished?
Major panic mode means it’s time for a repair or a new one, since yours is out of date now and Microsoft will no longer support it.
You’d been notified in the spring into the summer, but you’d been too busy to take care of it.
Urgh!
Fortunately, you have the latest draft you’d prepared before you lost the work.
Now why did I sign up to get a developmental editor before I’d finished revising and editing?
Not a rocket science move, I think.
This is November, and All Saints is here, on the heels of Reformation Sunday.
The Reformation isn’t on my mind now, but a new saint is. My dad died Halloween weekend. He’d been in failing health for a while. He passed away peacefully and quietly.
Love you, Dad, I’m sure Mom is happy to welcome you into heaven.
Here’s to having a great month with no crashes!
