I know this post is, like a week and a half overdue. I am so sorry about that.
I have been trying to complete a draft of my WIP to send to betas while I'm out of town (and will probably get NO writing time *sigh*). And then, TRAGEDY STRUCK.
I had one of my BEST WRITING DAYS EVER and wrote 3,000 words. And when I saved, something went wrong. When I tried to open the file the next day, it WOULDN'T OPEN.
*shakes head* *cries* At least I have most of the manuscript, but those 3,000 words are gone. *moment of silence for lost words*
ANYWAY, I am finally done mourning and ready to work some more, and ready to post this GIVEAWAY!
I have a signed copy of Nancy Werlin's IMPOSSIBLE
PLUS, some awesome sekrit RENEGADE swag.
(RENEGADE is a SUPER AWESOME book coming out in November from Tor Teen--you want this swag, I promise.)

Keep being awesome!
Despite my surprise that you are WILLING to give this stuff away, nevertheless, thank you for doing it!
ReplyDeleteOh, didn't see I was supposed to write something about backing up my work--I use DropBox, so I can access my writing from anywhere, but it saves locally when I'm not connected to the internet.
DeleteI'm also a habitual saver. Every one or two sentences I reflexively hit COMMAND+S. :)
I hot save every few minutes, too. Unfortunately, the last one messed up. :( *sadness*
DeleteThanks for entering!
External hard drive for the win! Seriously, best investment ever. Or even a flashdrive.

I was saving onto a thumbdrive, because I've had THREE computers die on me in the last year and a half, but something happened while it was saving. :( And then I've had my husband tell me OVER AND OVER that if I'd been saving onto the computer, there would have been a way to salvage it, but since I was saving directly onto the thumbdrive, it was gone. *sigh*
DeleteYikes!! That's happened to me before. I'll tweet your giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sheri!
DeleteI don't believe you. Just kidding! You love it when I give you a hard time. Love the kitty pics! Keep at it. Don't make me crack that whip! tee,hee!
ReplyDeleteOh boy that bites (about the 3k words) but I will say a brief prayer they will rest in peace. ;)
ReplyDeleteI just happen to have my own signed copy of Impossible but I will share your giveaway! :)
Thanks, PK! Next time we'll have to make sure to connect at the conference!
DeleteP.S. How do I get that cool little Renegade countdown widget on me blog?
ReplyDeleteEmail Jess, she'll send you the link. :)
DeleteOh. My. Gosh. I'm sorry. That sucks. I back up all of my work externally, with like 53464132143453 flash drives, memory devices, that sort of thing. Although it's a pain to update them all when I work on something lol.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!
