I spent 3 years on a book once. Was at a good 2000 pages (I was going to edit it after I was finished.) My computer crashed and caused me to lose everything. I couldn't recover it. I had no backups either. I was naive. So that's why I've never written another novel. Shame because people would honestly go nuts if I released a novel. I have the same name as a popular Sci-fi writer :P Hitchhiker anyone? XD
