Frustrations of writing

        Yesterday, I wrote a really good article, replacing a partial blog already written. One I was unhappy with, it took some drastic rewriting. I can honestly say, I was pleased with the second piece. Often, you are not pleased with what you write, this time I was. I had written, a very nice, politically aware piece on the nature of observed trends in society at present. Concerning the direction this government is taking the country. Observing how insiduously it is happening.

        Today, ready to complete it, and wanting to re read it before doing so, I open the page. Would you believe.....there it was, GONE.

        How it happened I can only guess. It was late at night, I was finishing it in bed, and became tired. Shutting it all down, and obviously omitting to save the work properly. Now, I am dispirited. I have no idea where to begin to write it again. Everything flowed yesterday. Facts, and figures, connections I made between newspapers articles, and political trends. The conclusions I came to, were concise and sensible. Some of it quite inspired I thought. Of course, I would think that, especially now that it's gone.

          I do regret its loss though......part of the joys of being a writer I suppose. Back up your work correctly, make no mistakes in that direction. Sod's law says if you do, it will be some of the best work you have done.

          Sometimes life is just not fair is it. If it were, what would we writers write about.

          Does that help me come to terms with its loss.

          NO! 

           Never, but another hard lesson learnt.....again
