A Blogger Miracle
I was depressed all morning, bored all afternoon and restless all evening, but finding me awake and unoccupied late at night made my muse happy. I picked up an old short story I was writing and worked on it for an hour or so then hit Save as Draft... and Blogger asked me to sign in... even though I signed in to work on the story. So I signed in... again... and what I wrote tonight was gone. Expletives flew and my heart sank. I hit the back button on my browser, hoping... maybe it would be there... Page Expired... so I hit back again and got the post when I first opened it an hour before. More Expletives and I was starting to get pissed, which isn't the best thing for me in my current state of mind, so then I hit forward in some hopeless attempt and got Page Expired again... then I hit back again and... Miracle... everything reappeared. My hand trembled over the mouse button but when I clicked on Save as Draft, it saved as draft. Scared my muse off, though, I'm still wide awake and in danger of getting bored. I'm calling to her... ahhh... I hear her steps...

Hey just so you know...if you ever can't get anything back at all, when you're on the 'new post' page, on the left at the top of the box are the words 'recover post' or 'recovery previous post' or somethin to that effect. Blogger periodically saves what you're typing to a cookie on your puter. Hit that button and the majority if not all of what you put in the box should come back. It's saved alot of cursing on my part in the past :)
Thanks for the heads up Miss Hobby, I can save my expletives for some other b.s. :)
You're very welcome :)
