seek and yee shall find

so remember the other day when I was bemoaning the fact I'd lost my (half unwritten*) novel. . .
.
well, I happened to mention the fact I was a total idiot to N1BGM (a superstar in the making) and guess what? she said to me "I'm sure you emailed it to me once" and - lo and behold - she looked back thru five years' worth of emails, and sure enough in April 2005 I'd emailed it to her. . .
.
crikey (do you have five years' worth of emails stored on your computer? I did once, but then in a fit of depressive suicidal pique I deleted everything and smashed a lot of things and now I don't have those things anymore) (such is life) (mine)
.
thankfully, N1BGM is of much sounder mind than my mad self, and hasn't ever done that (she is already a superstar, wouldn't you agree) so she emailed it back

(talk about something coming Full Circle!)

so, there you have it

or rather, there I have it

my (half written*) novel!

be prepared,
be very prepared -
I'll be trying it out on you. . .

(*"half un/written" reminds me of the old adage regarding a glass half-full or half-empty, which always makes me think "but I have a glass!")

I haven't got five year's worth of e-mails from you stored up. Sorry. But if you sent me something important like half a book, of course I'd have kept it.

Perhaps you sent me the unwritten half one day.

perhaps I will send you the unwriteen half one day

(of course, I'll make sure I spell checked it, before sending)

I mean WAY cool. :-)

Oh.....that means you can go back to it and perhaps finish it!

I keep most emails except advertising ones - I certainly wouldn't delete one with something important on it. I've often been asked for a document or information, years later, by people who haven't kept it themselves. Glad you got your book back.

I, Like The View said...

thanks Z I'm strangely pleased too! (altho now I'll have to finish it, won't I)

I used to keep everything, but now I don't

My saved emails usually only go back about 2 years because they always get lost when the computer breaks. Obviously this happens about once every two years : )
So, anyway, I'm very very prepared.
(And well done that superstar!)
