WIP Catastrophy!?! and a needed Prayer!

It’s 4 am in the morning, that’s right 4 am, and I would have been to bed hours ago after a pretty good writing session, but I’ve been searching for an illusive version to my WIP. I keep multiply copies on my computer, SAVING AS so I can have old versions of my WIP. I back up through a Yahoo group, Mozy and gmail and no where can I find the version where I rewrote the ending! I know I wrote it AFTER ACFW because I had a paid critique, and I had great ideas on how to up the stakes. I know I really wrote it! I even think someone might have critiqued it for me.

It was 180 degrees from what I originally wrote, and I don’t think I can muster up the energy to rewrite it and rewrite it as well, so please pray! I’m only 20 pages from the end, and I was getting my writing second wind, now I’m dead in the water (cliche alert) and through it all I have such a peace. No anxiety rolling in my belly (Maybe it’s the late hour, and I’m numb!)

I checked one of my flash drives, there’s a slight chance it could be on another one. But I really have no idea what could have happened to this version. The only thing I can think of is when I wrote it, it didn’t get saved or my computer died and it never got recovered.

This is really not a good thing to happen right now because I’m so far from being finished, and I’m losing steam! I really, really, really, don’t want to rewrite these chapters, and if I have to, I’m not sure when I’m have the mental energy! Definitely not tomorrow! I need some sleep!

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
