" All that dialogue, all that rising action, all that potential — gone." OMG Kayla! I've been there, and done that! My heart was aching for you girlfriend, all while I read this. You really have to be a writer that has experienced this, to fully grasp how devastating it is. The sick feeling in the pit of your stomach as soon as you have to face the reality that it's really gone - oh my, do I feel for you. But as you said, the key is to not give up. And I warn you, it WILL happen again, regardless of how careful you are, but, it gets easier to accept, and it's not as difficult to swallow when you know you took precautions. But if you make a careless mistake and lose work, you'll beat yourself to death for a while. Thanks for sharing :-)
