Ughh… I just deleted two book reviews that I was working on. I’m usually very careful and would save them right away. I had meant to save it, but I guess I didn’t. I copied and pasted them on Goodreads, closed the program, and then accidentally closed the windows because my supervisor was right behind me. I am so annoyed at myself, but I guess that’s what happens when your writing reviews at work. I’ve always been very quick about minimizing windows, but I panicked and closed it instead. Guess I’ll just have to start over… At least, I have a short draft. Sigh.
Thanks for reading my mini rant…
Has this ever happened to you or something similar?
Ughhhhh that sucks so bad!!! I’m sorry!
Something similar has happened to me and I wanted to scream and cry!

I know…. I just sort of sat there in shock that I actually did that. I’m all good now though. Just hope the new versions are somewhat close to what I had.

Oh no, Karen! 😦 I’m sorry. I’ve yet to do this yet, but I’ve certainly had a few close calls with other things. At least you have some sort of drafts, it’s still so frustrating! 😦

Yeah. I always do a quick draft after reading books then I work on my reviews. For a while, I was just in shock trying to accept that I just did that. LOL. Hopefully, the newer versions are close to what I had.

Thanks… it totally made me feel blahhh for a few days. I would never wish this to happen to anyone so I hope you don’t ever have to experience it.

That is awful :(. I once deleted a paper for college without realizing it. I had to write it all over again. It wasn’t fun, haha.

Yeah I was really annoyed with myself for a while… I’m actually still working on them cause I took a break from writing reviews for a few days since I was feeling blah about what happened. I actually need to finish editing one of them by this Friday — Our Dark Stars. I just loved the way I had my review already for that and even though I have a draft written down, it’s taking me a while to get it back to what I had… at least as close as possible. Times like this I wish I had a photographic memory LOL.

That would come in so handy at times. Especially after writing a review you were happy with! I hope you can get back in to the flow of things soon.
