Today I was trying to get a sample out to some of my fellow writing friends. It involved a lot of cutting and pasting and I pasted one last thing and it'd be ready to email.
And then it happened. Somehow I didn't paste part of my story but a section of some fiction that isn't even mine.
Eighteen pages of some fiction that isn't even mine.
That erased the entire rest of my sample.
Thankfully a few years back I remember someone telling me about Control-Z, which basically undoes the last thing you typed. I make a lot of mistakes typing but I've never done something so radically erroneous that I needed it.
It worked.
Glad I was paying attention that day.
