Writing... part 2

From this entry where I said I had 13 WIPs...I knocked them down to 1!

The other 12 I marked as complete either due to it being too many years since I started it (and it was a pairing I no longer write/like [but I have the remianing chapters outlined]) or it was really a collection of drabbles and ficlets that could stand alone so in a manner of speaking, after each chapter the story is complete, so I marked it that way.

The remaining WIP actually has 1 or 2 chapters outlined and/or written in some capacity so I will spend the rest of the year working on them.

I'm excited about being able to finish this goal!

Writing... part 3

Right...so the thing I never thought about when I decided that I wanted to complete my WIPs is WHERE they were saved.

In fact, where are ALL of my fics that I've written saved?

I have a really bad feeling that they were on the flashdrive that stopped working earlier this year. They aren't on my laptop hard drive and all of the working flashdrives that I'm pulling up have other things on them - none of my fanfics.

I'm about to do a search of my laptop harddrive for the specific files I need but I'm not hopeful about it.

*sighs* Nearly 20 years of fanfic potentially gone. A lot of them were outlines of stories I would have liked to work on too.

ETA 6:05pm: No sooner had I pressed post on this entry and typed in the start of the file I was looking for, than I found it! The first file in the search, no less! OMG I'm so relieved! ALL of my writing! ALL of my H50 fic that I've written! It's ALL there! Why I moved it to the new location, I don't know, but it's all there!
