eek..just dont give up.
it's natural to lose some of your work, it just happens. i used to write stories myself..and after a few data crashes i actually stopped writing altogether..haha..not a good idea.
nowadays i write music and every so often...*zOiNk* it's all gone. just dont give up...keep in mind that you can always write more. Think of it as..practice. You can never lose practice! right?? legalize it!! plse!!
