So WattPad has been playing with my emotions tonight.
So I was writing something (for a future story) and I was writing the character's background stories. It was all fine till, I was almost done writing one backstory when, is said, "A newer version of this has been saved, would you like to keep this version or go to the newer version?" Without realizing, I didn't see that a part of the backstory had been deleted so, going to the newer version would have saved ALL my work. But I pressed "KEEP THIS VERSION". So my work from that one backstory had been ALL deleted. I'm like, "****!! Now I have to rewrite it all!" It didn't matter, 'cause I remembered what I had wrote.
So I saved the version I just rewrote. I close my laptop for a few hours and when I go to keep writing, WHAT I REWROTE WAS DELETED!!! AGAIN!!! Keep in mind, I had all together, 1631 words written down. It deleted, 320 words!!
So I thought, it's just a bug. Let me refresh the page. I refreshed it and, the word count was only, 118 words. All of my effort and writing was gone.... I sat there crying for a few minutes. I was swearing to myself because those 1631 words took me a lot of time to come up with, and write down!
Turns out, it was a bug and it all came back after I rerefreshed the page. I cried again for another few minutes. So I copied all of my work and put it on a google document so if something was lost, I would have that document in case something like that ever happened again.
That all together was really stressful. Which doesn't help with my current situation since my family is MOVING. Hoo boi I need some sleep....
