I am seriously on the verge of tears right now.

I think my Macbook hard drive might be screwed. And if it is, that means almost all of my writing is gone. All of my original stories, all of What if..? that hasn't been posted yet, all of my incomplete fan fictions. All gone.

Anyone who tells me to just get over it will be drawn and quartered. Those stories are like my children. The thought of losing it all is unbearable.

I'll update again when I know for certain either way. If everything really is gone, this might mark an abrupt ending for What if..?. I will have lost so many unposted pages, there's no way I could reproduce them without compromising the story considerably. Honestly, I think I'll have lost the drive to even work on it at all.

I know I should have been backing up my files all along. But why must the fates be so cruel as to screw my hard drive on the very day that I got my new 8 GB flash drive and was actually able to back up the files?

You should take it to a specialist computer guy. I took my stuff to one and he found everything

Yeah, I took it to a specialist. They said there's about a fifty-fifty chance they'll be able to recover anything. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping they can at least get my writing files.

THose are the easiest to et. Any videos or games are likely to be lost, though

Well, just about everything else I had on there was music and freeware that I can just get offline again. It's my documents that I'm worried about, because I put a lot of work into my stories and my college essays.
