Have You Deleted Something Accidentally?

I wrote a discussion before on Mylot about my writing gig to be submitted for a magazine on its 6th anniversary. My writing was about recipes that I have cooked. I have done everything last Saturday evening including putting texts on the photos of the food that I have made. Then, I wanted to send it through email to the publisher and accidentally deleted what I wrote. I was in panic and about to cry. I searched online how to recover my writings. I even called my techie friend but in vain. I had to start writing again. I am not using my iCloud that is why no back up. I had no other choice but to write again. It took me only 40 minutes rewriting what I lost. My husband was amazed how fast I have done it as he had seen how many hours I spent for writing and editing. I was glad I still remember what I wrote. Of course the photos helped me remember. The photo above was the dessert I made for the magazine. I ate 1 cup of that dessert after that stressful evening. I have learned my lesson. I have to back up next time. My publisher was happy after receiving the email which included the photos of what I have made. Anyway, I will be in that anniversary magazine again. I am done. I wonder what challenge I will face again in the future. Thank you for reading. I hope you are doing fine.

My typing is deleted by itself if I type it so long on my smartphone, glad I already copy mine.

I'm glad you remembered what you wrote and got it done again so quickly. Yes, I accidentally deleted a post here when I reached across the table for something and found when I looked up that the post was gone. No problem. I just rewrote it.

I am glad about that, too @just4him. Yes, we can still rewrite what we have written but something has changed in words as I have noticed. Thank you and have a nice weekend.

Oh! I'm sorry to hear your trouble my beloved friend. At least you still have the time to rewrite it and get it done. I loved the photo, what's that underneath the strawberry? Is that a plain yogurt from Lidl?

I was so tired on that day that is why I forgot to save it. Gladfully, I remember everything I wrote. It is a plain Greek yoghurt from Aldi. Thank you @asianlady.

@thelme55 Oh! Very good that your memory is still great, and you are able to remember everything, if not you will lose everything after your hard work.

@thelme55, didn't you undo? Why didn't you saved first or save then write nonstop? Yes, me too experienced it many times It's so frustrating. I also learned a lesson out of that action.

I am constantly deleting a sentence in the middle of typing. I have no idea what I am doing. I am obviously hitting two keys at the same time or something that deletes the last few words I typed. I have no idea what all the commands are anymore. Thankfully I haven't deleted any complete documents.

That's understandable. I would be, too if I lost everything. One of the main reasons I love word. It auto-backs up every few seconds.

Thank you @kaylachan. I am still not get used to writing on my Ipad. My friend told me to use the Pages instead of Notes on my IPad as it automatically back up my writings. It is good to know.
