My laptop is dead.
Out of nowhere, my 5-month-old computer completely crapped out on me. The hard drive is fried. In its silent, yet spectacular breakdown, it took everything with it.
Some 70 pages of the next novel.
My grad school application.
All short stories. All programs. All music. All photos.
Lesson of the day -- BACK UP EVERYTHING. I didn't. That's why I'm dumb.
At least it's under warranty.
Once I get it back, I'll start over with the novel. Maybe it was God's way of telling me it wasn't that good to begin with.

The Author...
This book is about...
Suicide. Blame. Faith. Image.
College isn't all kegs and eggs.
Chris feels like a loser. He's sick of his Catholic high school life of obedience and order. He goes to college craving something else, but knows he won't find it on his own. The socially adept Ethan shows him true happiness through basement parties and campus terrorism, with a few hundred-dollars' worth of innocent fish as victims.
Everything seems fine until Ethan puts a gun in his mouth sophomore year. Chris has to find out why the envy of so many chose suicide as his way out. He won't like the answers.
Part-memoir, part-fiction, A Constant Suicide is an accurate portrayal of the underside of campus life populated by a generation seeking the never-ending party.
Why I write
"The first step to controlling your world is to control your culture. To model and demonstrate the kind of world you demand to live in. To write the books. Make the music. Shoot the films. Paint the art." - Chuck Palahniuk

put data onto the net.
That's what I do.
Send email to yourself. Find a pic site.
Most of my data is spread around the net.
Stories on web based email that I save as drafts.
I feel your pain.
Is the hard drive gone for sure?
Might be able to get some or even most of the data recovered unless there was serious damage to the actual hard disk. Even then, something may be recoverable.
did you take the hard drive to a pc shop to try and salvage the data? many times they can pull the data off even a broken hdd.
i did lose all my data once a few years ago. both my main pc and my backup went down within a week. lost both copies of things. definitely sucks!
You poor, poor man. Maybe all is not lost. Optimism my friend.
And the book was that good. As were the shorts I read. Keep the draeam alive.
All the data is officially gone. I took it into the shop and once it was pulled out, the hard drive wouldn't even spin.
I could take it to another place, but to get it back, it'd cost $450.
Nothing on there was even close to that kind of masterpiece.
Fortunately, I've emailed enough stuff around lately that good chunks of things are tied up in emails, so I can pull some of them off there.
God bless the Internet.
I feel your pain - twice! Though I just destroy the motherboard. My hard drives usually just erase themselves. . . .oh wait, that's just the Windows OS.
So an external hard drive is on your Christmas list?!
