So…the last 36 overs have been something…
I’m absolutely devastated that my blog is gone. A full years work basically disappeared, and tumblr just got back to me and said there was nothing they could do to help me recover. I’m still in shock to be honest.
But I will be rebuilding. And honestly, I wonder if part of this is a blessing in disguise in some aspects.
This week I will be focusing on rebuilding my site, and searching google cache to try and find as many of my posts as I possibly can to save them. So far I’ve managed to find a good deal…but a lot of the early chapters still appear to be lost to me. We shall see what happens. I’m giving myself until Friday to scour the internet but then after that I will take stock of what I have (and putting them together with my notes…thank god I wrote outlines) and slowly start piecing my story back together.
Yes, I am just that crazy that I will work to bring back the entire story. After all, it’s my baby, and I know so many of you love it just as much as I do. Not to mention in future I’ve considered turning my story into a novel, so recovering the full story is important to me. I’m slightly annoyed as this was going to be the week I backed up everything too…what sort of luck is that?
So for a few months this blog will be sort of rerun. I will be posting everything in order again, working to bring us back to exactly where we left off. And remember that blessing I talked about?
I will also be rewriting some things. Most importantly, chapter one. I was never fully happy with it, and I left out so much of what I wanted to write. It’s also the only chapter I never outlined because I was merely testing the waters to see how I felt telling a story on tumblr. So now, with this unfortunate opportunity I’ve been presented with, I’m going to take the chance given to me and attempt to turn this into a positive experience, and finally tell chapter one the right way. So there will be new scenes for you to see as I recover and rebuild. (I may also give some of the elders a makeover so that not everyone is gray haired 😉)
I hate to say that because of this chapter eight is now indefinitely on hold. This blog is my baby, and if everything isn’t there, then It will just depress me, and so the only way to recover and grieve this loss is to work to rebuild everything from scratch. So while I’m doing all of this for you all, I’m doing this mostly for myself.
Please help me by reblogging this post, to help me spread the word about what happened to me, and helping me rebuild in this small way. I’m sure there are still so many who are unaware of what’s happened, and it would be nice to see everyone back around on my blog…I’ll need all the positive energy and support I can get. ❤️
