I'm sorry to hear about the project lost. I'm a self-proclaimed expert at this point. If it helps, buy yourself a sturdy external Hard Drive or build yourself an external SSD - that's the one i've been using since the major fail last time- alternatively you could use a software like Disk Drill to retrieve the data. For hard drives, have two copies of your project, one as the proper back-up and the second as the back-up of your back-ups. That way if either gets lost your safe with an extra copy of your most recent. That said, good luck on your book! Let me know the title when it's get out so I'll snatch a copy. I'll even read it with my rusty French if I have to. Happy Holidays and good luck on your dream project! (o゜▽゜)o☆
Viewing post in CHIM ISSUES #6: hi little update from me ^-^ comments
Oh yes, I should definitely buy a storage device, I've been eyeing them waiting for good offers haha; but to be honest, I'm not too traumatised by it, as I didn't lose anything too substantial fortunately!
And thank you! For the book, it's all hypothetical as I would want it to go to the usual process of publishing (I don't think I have the strength for self-publishing haha), but that would require a publisher to be interested in it! And happy holidays to you too!!
