I’m finally back in business, having restored my lost ID. Unfortunately, due to how, whatever I did, the issue kept arising, I’m now overly paranoid about it. So, I’ve gone ahead and purchased a new, older PC, to save my stories to, so if it happens again, I’ll have a ready, independent access to recovery for any of my stories I may lose.
I’m hoping this is a ‘forever’ fix, yet having been so savagely bitten, I’m now thrice shy. But as of now, I’m again actively working on my ‘lost’, most viable stories. And one way or another, I’ll manage to finally post them.
