Apology

Elly, I am sorry for snapping your head off. This problem has been so frustrating, and I have tried so many avenues to find a solution, I just couldn't stand another "I can't help you" response. I try not to be the stereotypical grumpy old lady, but there are days.....
Again, I apologize and will try to keep my frustration in check in the future.

I'd be mortified and grumpy too if I'd lost an m/s in a computer. I hope you haven'tlost it forever.

About the Manuscript

My Book

The "lost" manuscript is actually in print (LIFE, DEATH AND OTHER TRIVIA, available through Amazon and Lulu.com) so it's obviously not gone from the face of the earth. It is gone from my files, however, so it can't be sent as an attached document to potential reviewers, etc., which is my basic cause of concern at this point. Looks like I'm going to have to make a copy, re-typing the whole thing from the printed version, a daunting (and boring) task, to say the least.
