Aaarghh!

I really hate it when a slip of the fingers on the keyboard initiate irrevocable actions - even if the appropriate warnings are issued. I just managed to lose a bunch of new Nano material because I did something and then hit the Escape key, thinking it would back out of whatever idiocy I'd asked for.

It turns out that Escape, in this case, means "Yeah, go ahead and delete all the stuff I've been working on without saving it!"

I should probably jump in and try to reconstruct as much of the lost text as possible, before it becomes too much of a memory. Still, I'll pause for just a few seconds to entertain some uncharitable thoughts.

Cheers...

UPDATE (10:12 pm): I'm at 4305 nanowords; 695 behind the pace. Not good, but not fatal, either. Three down, 27 to go.

Har. Last night I left my laptop open on the couch next to me. Little Dog scurried across the keyboard.

Pushing the power button with her foot.

Which opened up a dialog "Do you wish to shutdown?"

I yelped at her. She scurried back the other way dragging her foot across the touchpad, mousing to 'yes' and mashing the enter key.

Once is accident, twice is coincidence, three times is malicious intent!

LOL!
