Our computer crashed. We couldn't even get the blue screen of death to come up.
When Hubby woke my up Saturday to let me know the bad news it took me a few minutes to really grasp what this meant. When it finally sunk in I started panicking. We do have an external back up drive, but my hubby doesn't really back up that often and I don't know how to do it.
My pictures, my video, my iTunes...all gone. All of the work I've done on my mss...gone. In shock I struggled not to completely freak out.
Hubby had backed up two months ago. So, I didn't lose everything. Just the last two months. That's still a lot of memories to lose. Luckily, I had backed up my mss just a week ago to my flash drive.
There are places you can send your drive to get the information extracted. Clean labs. It's not cheap.
If you don't have a way to back up your stuff, get one. If you have one, back up often.

I download all my serious writing, work-in-progress, finished novel, synopsis, bio - all of that - to Yola.com. It's free, easy to use and you reach it online (to show friends, business contacts) when you're away from home.
Nice blog, Jennie. Now let's boost those follower numbers...
Thanks Fran! I'll have to check Yola out.
