Now this is rather worrying

In November, if you recall, I took part in NaNoWriMo, or rather in my version of it, which I think I called MyWriMo.

Although I came nowhere near the target they set of 50,000 words I did manage a good number and was pleased. Then came December and all that busyness so I put it to one side with the intention of picking it up again in January. 

Well, that came and went so I was determined to start again in February. I've managed to put it off so far but this afternoon I took the proverbial bull by the horns and opened the file.

At least I would have opened the file if I could have found it.

All I seem to have under the name of MyWriMo is a two page document of odds and ends, research I thought may be useful, and some details I wanted to remember. But of the several thousand word document that is the new novel there is no sign.

I am not going to panic. I know I saved it. I just have to remember where and under what name.

I am not going to panic. My  breathing is a bit fast at the moment but that's okay. I need chocolate. 

I am also convinced I jotted character names and ages n a scrap of paper that was on my desk. But that's not here any more. Did I imagine it all? Was it just a dream?

It must be here somewhere!

P.S. FOUND IT! It was cunningly named New book. I must try to be more sensible with my file names.

P.P.S. However now it's too late to start work on it. I have to go and make pizza topping.

I swear most of us need an assistant just to remember those great failsafe memorable names we give files and promptly forget.

I'm very glad you found it. Now if it disappears again you can check in here for the file name.
