- The One Who Got Away

We have all had that moment when he had something taken away by technology. It has advanced so much that it is able to malfunction twice as easily, considering the fact that I've had first-hand experience. Let me explain...
So about a month ago. My desire to write a book has grown so greatly that I decided to go for it. So I picked up a notebook and a pen and began creating the storyline, characters, etc. Once I was finished, I took to the computer and started writing the prologue and chapter of the book (if I would've known any better, I would have just kept writing the book in my notebook.) After about 3 days, I finished writing the beginning of my book and decided to begin editing. After I was finished, I sat back and re read every single and word and thought to myself, "This could potentially appear on the New York Times Bestseller list if I ever get to publish." And I decided I was finished and clicked save and that's when I realized I just committed the biggest mistake in my life...
You see, I had my book saved onto my flash drive and whenever I was done working on it on my desktop I would save it onto my flash drive and delete it off of my computer. And whenever I would decide to work on it again, I would open my flash drive and "Save As..." my book onto my documents and work on it from there because whenever I save directly to my flash drive, it turns the file into a .tmp file meaning that I loose everything. Absolutely everything... Whenever I tried to open the file back up it would tell me that it doesn't exist and worst of all, it deleted itself off of my flash drive... Talk about the perfect FML post... :\
