Horror of horrors...

I've lost half of my documents for Blood Angel. They're gone. Completely. I've dug through my USB memory sticks and an external hard drive...and the folders are there but nothing is in them. Not a goddamned thing. Two dozen completely empty folders.

The only fortunate part of this is...what's lost is mainly images and documents from the early phase of the story, dealing with volumes one and two. It was from just before I started keeping everything on those memory sticks to have easy access to them, since traveling on a plane made it impossible to pull documents down from the Cloud. Well...unless you're willing to buy second-rate WiFi on the flight. Which I am not.

Prior to that, I had saved everything I could onto my big, bad plug-in hard drive. But every BA folder dated prior to June 2023 is just plain empty. The only thing I can think of is the documents didn't get pulled down from the Cloud when I shifted them over. And trying to find them on the Cloud is proving to be impossible.

I HATE this new setup. I prefer to have my files kept on my laptop's hard drive. Period. But Apple didn't give me that choice and now I'm fucked over by it.

At least I had printed out the important ones and put them in a ring binder, so they aren't a complete loss. And everything I've done since volume three is on a dedicated thumb drive, so I don't have to worry about that. I also double-saved it, as well, on the external...and verified the documents are in the files.

But shit...I fucking hate the techies who thought this shit was a good idea.
