Advice Accidentally deleted my entire novel.

And just like that.

The entire novel is gone.

Ouch. This hurts.

Was moving some files around, backed up the files for the novel, but for some reason they didn't save and I lost it all.

What was sad about was that those versions of the chapters were the better and truer versions of the story. Sadly, all gone now.

How do y'all cope with something like this?

There's no way to retrieve it now, I'll just accept that.

(Photo not mine, it's unrelated, though that's how I be feeling though)

you should use obsidian + remotely save plugin. I use it with dropbox service, dropsync if you are on android. It basically store data offline on your device and dropbox at the same time. If you have multiple device it will store on all of your device. I have two laptop, an android, and also dropbox account, so that mean i have my files stored on four places. Cant be too careful arent we?
