Tonight I had written a post that took me around 2 hours to write. I didn't save it as it was ready to post and off I went to make coffee. You know when you are ahead of the game and you are chaffed to bits with yourself.
I came back to a blank screen on my laptop and the only thing that was different was my dog have moved positions and was lying where I was sitting on the couch. With a long list of obscenities and some foul language I started from scratch again. I wasn't feeling so rosy anymore and was playing catch up.
You often hear kids saying to their teachers that the dog ate their homework, but this really happened. I have no idea if a tail flicked a key or what, but it had vanished. I don't like my dogs on the furniture and have no idea why she even thought it as fine to take a chance. In 5 minutes she had created mayhem and has taught me to save to drafts in the future.
What is even worse was I didn't get to post it as we had a massive power failure while I was writing this and have had to finish this off this morning. Th generator had a enough diesel for about an hour or so, but then again what is the point as the whole area was out and it only came back on at around 6 am this morning. A solid 8 hours that I wasn't expecting and I am sure it took plenty by surprise. There was a party going on down the street as today is a public holiday and the guests all disappeared rather quickly lol.
I will save my drafts in the future and expect the unexpected.
@steempeak and you don't have to think about saving.

This is true... i haven't had to think about saving since i started using https://steempeak.com/
Saves my drafts every couple seconds. Also helps against when steemconnect has a hiccup and says you sent a post but never reaches the blockchain.
Also I do love my snippets to save text that i use on lots of posts.

i write mine on busy.org and it saves drafts so in case this happens its easily restored.
might be an idea with IT dogs and power cuts

I need to plan better. I do two posts a day using esteem and busy and both have saving options. Busy does this automatically so makes sense to write everything on there and transfer it across if needed. I like the bit about IT dogs lol.

😁 The dog ate your homework 😂
Sorry about the power cut, I know it's frustrating. Let's hope it won't happen again, although I guess no one believes that any more.
By the way, give your dog a hug and a big bone! 🐶 😁

I was wondering if your powercut had anything to do with that massive power failure that South America suffered?

I doubt it , but it was totally not planned. No warnings and I need to read up about the South American one as I had no idea about that either.

I had something similar with my toddler son. He clicked the clear option on steenit post writing option. And as there's no undo button I have lost one almost finished post. 😣
And later posted about my disappointment. After that I always write on offline saving pages. 🙂

That is horrible. I had a post all written last week and it got deleted. I had to start over and in my opinion the second draft wasn't anywhere near as good as the first one...
