In 2007, I wrote my first book, gave it to my proofreader who misplaced it.
Oh how foolish I was, not to have a backup.
I sat down and rewrote it in 6 days. I may not have used the exact words, but it was the same story.
As a writer, stories make up your job. Stories embellished and targeted. Everything that happened which can be remembered can become a book or a blessing in any form to humanity.
People yearn to hear them, get entertained and learn from them.
Have you had a similar experience and lost hope?
Would you rather hoard them for the pain of reworking them?
Your thoughts.
