I have had so many crashes in the last while, and things are backed up all over the place. I wasn't that worried about archiving it anyway. Frankly, it's a waste of disk-space. :| Kirk: It’s around somewhere on a CD or DVD or even a hard disk. I have had so many crashes in the last while, and things are backed up all over the place.

And BTW, do you have a spare copy hanging around. If so and you don't have particular use for it, how about sending it my way? I love reading pre-first editions that never got published.

Actually, the last chapter was complete. I just didn't send it on. It is one of those little decisions I will for ever be eternally greatful! The one good thing about the exercise was that most of thecharacters developed properly. The main flaw (apart from a shoddy main storyline) was that the principle characters were all wrong. I have learned from my mistakes. I hope. “Just do it” is probably the best advice for any aspiring scribe!

Just do it. ;) And you never know...you just might get and idea for that last chapter of the old one while you're writing the new one.
