This is just a "share the joy" kind of post, because I felt like, well, sharing the joy!
Those of you who know me and have dealt with my constant where-the-hell-did-I-put-thatness will appreciate the squee of this. About four years ago, my laptop crashed, spectacularly. (I adore Macs, but they do this to me with distressing regularity. Although, I have a Toshiba laptop now, and it's developed a chronic cough and rheumy eyes, so come to think of it, it may not be a computer problem at all.) Anyway, I GOT IT ALL BACK!!!
Every last file I thought was lost forever. A friend of ours swooped in a few years ago and took it to a Mac hospital in her city for me, and they fixed it, and she came into town this weekend and brought it with her, AND ALL MY STUFF IS THERE! Short stories that I can now send out that I had been too disheartened to try to rewrite, fanfic I thought I would never see original copies of again, in-progress fanfic I had given up on -- oh, this delicious West Wing story I've been hankering for for years! Because this world needs more Leo McGarry/Lord John Marbury, about a decade after everyone stopped caring, but the point is, IT'S THERE! IT'S THERE!
I feel whole as a writer again, literally.
