selkie at 09:12am on 11/03/2004I don't wanna be a writer anymore, waaaaah!
My computer made stew meat out of two pages of the thing I was working on, and took for good measure a page of research notes on Vilna because the window happened to be open. Didn't not-save them! Oh, no! Just garbled them beyond chance or recall!
Never seen anything like it.
So now I'm sitting around clicking through webcomics and talking to people, and relishing the fact that I do not have to work until 5pm, but also very regretful that I have to type all that stuff out again, and because I tweak as I go, it will not be exactly the same.
I should cave in and buy a new laptop, I know this, but I was thinking of switching back to Mac (alliteration and assonance unintentional) and they're so not-affordable on what I get paid.
Was thinking this morning, over my tall caramel-syrup extra foamy Amerimisto (ask your barista for it! They might make it, right before they kill you) that what I do doesn't matter, and then it's okay that it doesn't matter, because of course it doesn't matter, because I serve coffee!!
The writing matters, though.
