I think my laptop touchpad is broken. My left-click keeps sticking and it's really annoying. :/
I don't know if it would be considered a spell, but rapping on the touchpad while swearing profusely seems to have fixed it.
Haha, nothing will ever kill this thing. I've dropped it, hit it, left it in the car during a heat wave, spilled liquids ranging from water to hot soup on it, everything. It's just like my phone--indestructible. I bought all of my electronics with durability in mind, because I'm a major klutz. I also live a pretty active life, so my stuff has to be able to get beat up and still work.
So sorry to hear about that hard drive! I've never had a hard drive kick the bucket, but I have experienced several crashes that wiped a ton of files. Back in the day when I was still writing on fanfiction.net, the crappy old desktop I was using crashed and I lost all of the fanfics I'd been working on for weeks or even months. Thanks to my FF account, though, I had a ton of it saved online so I didn't lose everything. That incident really drove home the importance of always keeping a backup!
I swear every writer has a horror story about technology betraying them and files getting vaporized.
Haha...Your stories remind me of the time when I couldn't find my phone and i suspected it was tangled up in the blankets on my bed so I gave them a flick and WHAM! It hit the ceiling and fell to the floor. Well, I found it. Ive dropped my phone down stairs and everything, but it's still just fine.
I don't know if it would be considered a spell, but rapping on the touchpad while swearing profusely seems to have fixed it.
Hello everyone.
I was away for a little while, but I’m back now. I may as well mention what happened.
So, I had myself a heart-attack on the evening of 10/9/16, but I didn’t know that’s what it was while it was happening. It was sort of surprising but not totally unexpected—my dad had this issue and I take after him quite a bit.
Anyway, three days later I went in for a triple bypass. A bit of an ordeal. Needless to say, I wasn’t exactly in shape for writing during and after that. It was about a month before I could pick up the pen again.
But, I’m doing well. I had great aftercare by my family (including not one, but TWO nurses who are sisters). I’m otherwise healthy, not overweight, non-smoker, and I have no other complications.
I’m back at work (you know, day job) and almost back to normal.
So that’s all for now. Hope everyone here has been doing well.
