I didn't get anything written for Valentine's Day... Indeed due to my usual manic states I was pretty severely depressed on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of this week. I had about a hundred words thought up for a possible Valentine's Day story. However I found it to be very flat when I wrote them down...

I wonder, do other authors have that experience? I think up a scene, it seems enticing while I hold it in my mind, but when I write it down it's as if all the life and light goes out of it....

I'm pretty much giving up on recovering three or so weeks worth of work on an in progress story. At least I had only lost approximately 1-2% of the total (not counting some proofreading I'd done) of the story. With any luck I will have a reasonably sized novel complete for publication this year. Yes I plan on putting it here, probably in the premium column and if I can find appropriate artwork on bookappy. I've wavered some about putting it on Kindle... But for now I don't intend to support Jeff bezos.

I know that I've asked before, and probably downloaded, about a tool for recovering a corrupted file.
Anyway if someone could please recommend a tool for recovering corrupted file again I would appreciate it.

I live at the most prosperous time of human history, in the most prosperous nation in the history of the world, yet I never seem to get much beyond a hand-to-mouth level of living. Listening to Dave Ramsey would make me believe that that's entirely my own doing. I do admit that a certain amount of my failure is due to my decisions yet I'm not certain that I can entirely chalk up my position to me missing opportunity (or refusing to access the opportunity)... Maybe I'm lying to myself....

I'm writing again slowly and surely for now, and I'm not sure how much of what I'm doing will stay in the finished project. In addition to the new work I went over what there is of the existing project and polished it (I hope) some before beginning to add to it.

With any luck I should have a short novel length work finished this year.

On a more personal note (and something which is interfering with my writing) I'm driving fifty miles to work, and fifty miles home every weekday. Definitely hard on my car, but worse is that it eats two hours a day at the minimum. So that severely limits my writing time 😞
