Frazzled does not quite describe the feeling when suddenly your computer goes blank and the sick feeling in your stomach tells you that your work has gone to the Great Unknown Ozone
WHEN WRITING GOES MISSING
By: Donna Chandler
Writing our thoughts and ideas
can be therapeutic and fun.
Some days the words flow quickly.
Some days I feel downright dumb.
I tend to make lots of lists,
a list of ideas, a list of things to do.
If one searched through my computer,
one would find my lists are more than a few.
In my trusty reliable computer
my writing and my lists are safely stored.
Occasionally though hair is pulled and tears flow
when a power glitch erases my work for ever more.
We’ve come a long way from the #2 pencil
and large yellow legal pad.
But when computer gremlins come a calling
those old days don’t seem so bad.
Losing your work to an electric blip
may make you think you’re in pain.
Take a deep breath, grit your teeth,
gather your thoughts and begin again.
