The Good News is, I'm back online. The bad news is two fold.. I'm now high 3-figures poorer and more importantly for this site, the HD with my world notes is officially gone.
My brother, who did the replacement work for me forgot that he was going to try to save what was on the HD and he had disposed of it already. Which led to the following conversation.
Brother: Hey FB, remember that thing you told me to remember?
Fozzie Bare: Yes? Were you able to save the files?
Brother: I forgot to remember. I already got rid of it last night when I finished up the computer
Fozzie Bare: (facepalm)
The good news is the new computer is fricken STURDY. It's about 50 pounds and is pretty top of the line. It's big enough I call it Frankenstein's Monster and inquired of my brother if it needed a lightning strike to power it.
So, what does this mean for my writing? Well, it means all the little sub passages I've already written and how the story's going to go? Gone. That's going to slow me down as I have to rebuild my notes from memory (which as we have already seen can be a tad bit unreliable), but it's not going to stop me
I hope to have FTMD 10 up in the next couple days. RR's will follow after that.
Thanks for your patience, and I hope to have something up for you soon
Don't worry, I'm saving all my notes online going forward. :)
