Let me explain.<\/p>\n<p>I came here and began to write a beautiful blog post about the history of Nasty horror (which spans over ten years!) and then speaking about it&#8217;s rebirth and complete change of direction.<\/p>\n<p>It was a great blog post.<\/p>\n<p>Now you must understand how I type. When I type I type VERY rapidly and I seldom look up at the screen, for minutes on end. It is not uncommon for me to have typed 500 words before I even glance at the screen.<\/p>\n<p>This way of working carries with it advantages and disadvantages. One of the advantages is speed. It also helps me focus and have a nice smooth flow of thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>The downside s that sometimes I look up after my masterful crafting of outstanding prose, and see that nothing that I typed exists.<\/p>\n<p>I literally have been pushing keys without the information being saved anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>This is what happened with the lovely blog post that I had written right before typing this one. It&#8217;s all gone folks. All of it. I can&#8217;t even remember what I typed well enough to even think of retyping it. Cest la Vie.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t even remember what I was originally going to blog about, so I am changing this post into a public service announcement.<\/p>\n<h2>Pay attention!<\/h2>\n<p>If you work with a word processor, make sure your cursor is at the right place before you launch into your inspired tirade, lest it be lost into time, like a sand castle at high tide.<\/p>\n<p>I used to use a typewriter. I never had this happen with a typewriter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sigh.<\/p>\n<p>PS-Watch for the new short fiction series starting soon. It will be announced here. It will be available through Kindle. Check back to see. Or, if you don&#8217;t feel like having to check back, get on the mailing list. There should be a banner for it in the side bar.<\/p>\n<p>G&#8217;nite kiddies!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just realized that I have been typing into the air.
