happy with it, and I was like this moment is something he spends my whole novel getting towards it was a great uplifting feeling, good practice for when he gets that BIG arc for the book... and my computer...

FAILED ME! It got me off the comment page and LOST the TAG! Oh my gosh I'm sooooo angry/sad [Don't cry don't cry don't cry self!]

Oh nooo, that's the worst. :C No Lazarus?

Lazarus?

Lazarus is a browser addon that automatically saves what you type into forms (like DW comment boxes).

No.... Oh that would've saved me. I know I can rewrite it, it's just never as satisfying, and or you can't get that great feeling back. [Is deflated]

Yeah, it's rough. If you use Firefox or Chrome, you can search for it in the respective addon stores.

I should do that so I don't have a repeat.

Oh no that sucks!

greenworldgirl: Thanks my friend. I detest loosing writing it gets me mad/sad everytime.

Oh, man, yeah, get Lazarus for sure, it has been a lifesaver for me. It's the worst when you lose something you've been working on so hard like that.

inkblotted: I will definitely have to check out Lazarus it sounds boss. I rewrote it and I still like it so I feel better now.

I recommend Semagic. It can save drafts, act as a lightweight HTML editor and post to DW as well as LJ, since they share codebases; possibly other blogs, but either way...

...you can do all your formatting and previewing in the app first.

I have felt your pain. Back in the early 2000s I had an old refurbished comp. I wrote fanfiction directly in email for a yahoo group. Often I would have to rewrite an entire story because the damn machine froze

and forced me to reboot.
