So, I’ve been writing a 175k word One Piece fanfic for about 6 months. Most of my writing is done on a 10 year-old laptop I dug out of the closet while I wait for my kid to finish sports practice. Today, the hard-drive died. (Thankfully I have a cloud backup.)

Now, without a laptop, I have nothing to continue working on. I can’t afford a new laptop. Just glad I didn’t lose all my work.

    Writing is hard, i written three novels each about 80k words. Two novels at 100k that are total crap. Also have 4 short stories, and that’s not mentioning the 20 novels I need to finish.
