Well, I'm back from my trip downstate. Kind of a spur of the moment thing, which wouldnt be so bad, except that I literally got up to answer the door, and 10 minutes later I was in the car.
This wouldnt be so bad, except that during the weekend, this area lost power, and the folder I had sitting next the computer had its contents scattered. The former wouldn't be bad, if I had actually remembered to save what I was working on before I rushed out the door. The folder contained a lot of my hand written notes for my setting, most of which were recovered, a few weren't.
So, in the aftermath of my trip, I can start again on my world. The work I was doing will be delayed slightly, but the world shall begin again.
P.S. ALWAYS freaking save your work. Even if you are on fire, save your work. (I lost about 10 typed and formatted pages..)

Good to know.
I'd double save even if I were on fire.
I have conditioned my hand to hit ctrl-s every few seconds.
10 pages lost??? Ouch! I would have saved after every page at the very least.
Power out this weekend? You don't happen to live in St. Louis, do you?
Sorry about the page loss, I've had that happen to me before. I, too, hit ctrl-s ever so often when typing to avoid future mishaps.
Quoteower out this weekend? You don't happen to live in St. Louis, do you?
Northern Michigan actually. Random power outage from what I can tell. No storms, no strong winds... Weird.

I think from now on, I am going to save all the time. Every paagraph. I'm not sure how I got that far without saving. Guess I got on a roll and just went with it.
