I decided to go back and read through the first few chapters of The Sorceress and her Lovers last night, having not worked on them for a few weeks.  I’m reading along through chapter two and… wait a second… it just ends.  I know I wrote the rest of this chapter.  I remember that I had a meeting here with three more characters, and the scene ends just before that starts.  Did I just think them and not actually write them?  No!  I know I wrote them.

So I sat down and began sifting through all my backups.  Not there.  How about my thumb drive?  Then it hits me.  I know what happened.  I wrote the chapter at work while having my lunch, and then I came home.  I forgot to synch my documents and then started working on the version at home.  Then when I eventually did synch the drives, the last version I worked on overwrote the other, longer version.  Boy, that sucks.

Of course, I remember basically what happened, but I don’t remember all the details and I don’t remember the lizzie names I had created.  What a bummer.  Oh, well…
