Hmmm...
So I've come across an interesting development while I was drafting out the rest of the chapters of TYWY these past couple of weeks. But before that, I have two things to clarify.
The first thing is that the original story that I accidentally lost a couple of months ago actually came back to me after a couple of weeks. It was still like how I've kept it in the past 3 years, glitched and out of order.
The second thing is that my phone fixed itself somehow after being left on a shelf for almost a month. However, because it was left on a shelf for almost a month, there was dust accumulating on the motherboard and that broke which left me with barely being able to see my screen.
Now, I've gotten a cheap replacement for my phone a couple of days after the unfortunate event and while it did came with its own series of problems, I've managed to somehow make it work for my purposes, more or less.
Today however, as I was truthfully opening the Library for the first time on this new but old phone in search of the original story so I can do my work, I noticed that the order of the chapters were... odd.
I mean, it was always odd due to being a glitch that shouldn't have existed after Wattpad's subsequent annihilation of the story, but this was different because the order of the chapters was almost as if the story was intact.
Because the order was following my presumptive index (a list of the chapters that I've arranged in about as coherent manner as I could make it) that I had laid out when I first started out on this project.
What I'm basically saying is that I might have just stumbled upon the actual, original chapter order of the original TYWY. I've been crossreferencing it with my own index to check for coherency and consistency and it actually checks out.
While this is quite the discovery (for me at least), this also sucks a bit since it's making me review the whole damn story for the umpteenth time to figure out how to keep the story cohesive.
Sigh...
