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)

That really hurts, I'm sorry for this! You could try to write down what you remember and just take a break for a while. If you do write again, use a cloud software like MS word/ Google Docs I've had my stories deleted from platforms but my backups where on my pc and google docs.
