My laptop broke down yesterday morning, and I’ve had an itch to write since. Due to the fact I don’t have a laptop to work on my next book with, I wrote a short poem inspired by Lindsey Stirling`s New song, Take Flight.
Take Flight
You can take flight
Dry your tears
Everything’s gonna be alright
Consume your fears
And come with me
Your voice sings
In the end, can’t you see
You’ll grow your wings
What’s eating at your mind?
Shoulders shudder in the night
Leave your fears behind
Don’t let the monsters bite
Spread your wings and fly
Take flight

Funny how a broken laptop can suddenly give you the urge to write. Mine broke the other day too and all of a sudden my head was filled with stuff I just had to write. It mostly disappeared the moment I bought a new laptop…
Nice poem though.

I was working on chapter three of my third book when it crashed and I have no access to a computer. And it takes forever to write on my kindle!

Oooo, nasty. Can you save your work somehow?

It’s all on my handy dandy flash drive. I have it set to automatically save an auto-recovery file any time I stop typing, so I hope I have everything I’d added saved.

Nicole, you can try to recover your data using an external hard disk drive.
It’s like an external hard disk … but without hard disk. You can put the hard disk you want in it (The hard disk of your old laptop, for example) and using it as an USB flash to recover your data.
The possibilities to recover data is not guaranteed 100% but it may be worth trying 😉

Thank you for the suggestion. My mom has my laptop moment trying to fix it. There’s a hard drive failure and the laptop was trying to load from a non existent disc
