Frustrating mistakes...
10 years ago
Good afternoon to my readers (because I'm pretending a lot of furs read all about me...),
So a little bit of venting is required today, advance apologies for this... I have, as previously mentioned, a good number of stories I'm working on to get uploaded here and share with you all. They're in a variety of stages of completion and I have over the last week been working away at them bit by bit as the mood takes me. Unfortunately the mood hasn't taken taken me much this week and it hasn't really mattered which story I load up to look at, inspiration has been flat.
However, I did manage to get excited last night and I was typing up a storm! Pretty much had part one of one story complete (still needed to read over it again to edit/fix of course), but it was done. I was happy, and I was feeling inspired. So I started on the second part, keeping the juices flowing if you will, and as I like to do to make sure each file is consistent in font/size/formatting, I started work on part by using the first completed part as a base.
All good, so far...
I get a good amount done on the second part but am interrupted by the need to eat, so I save the file to come back to it once I was done with food. Sounds good too, except the moment I closed the file I realised that I hadn't saved the new part as it's own file, I literally saved over the first part... FUCK!! Hours of work lost, and that has killed enthusiasm so badly I haven't been willing to load the file up again and get going once more. I understand that it was own stupid fault, hence the venting today LOL!
So that story has been put back a bit longer before it'll be done since I need to go back and start it all over again. Eh... I'll just go work on another for a bit if I can find the motivation. There we go, venting done, not point in whining anymore about it. I have stories to be told, so I just need to move forward :D
Thanks for listening guys, I'll have some niceness for you all as soon as I can. And until next time, keep eating :)

Guh, I hate when that kind of thing happens. I was working on an art piece the other day and just as i'm about to finish up, the program freezes and I lost all my color work. My own fault for not saving earlier, but yeah, that can be a real motivation killer. If I had lost my linework, I'm not sure I would've tried to redraw it right then, either.
