Yeah I have one manuscript, which I call the cursed project. It is called this because it was the first novel series I started to work on. It's two decades later and I still haven't finished it.

Because I have lost it THREE [BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP] times.

The last time I worked on it, I also lost a quarter of my progress on that draft because Scrivener didn't save properly.

Needless to say, I know the feeling. I'm glad you found most of your work, though!

I've been there, man. Lost part of my work once and asked a nerdy friend for help. He just goes "Sorry, Mike, no backup, no mercy". Tough lesson. Hang in there and keep writing.

I'm so sorry J. I've lost stuff, like a lot of things off drives a few times, and it's the worst. <3

I think I need to email myself updated documents more often than every week… 👀😬
