Why Twitter Rocks!

I haven't been fair to Twitter lately. Yes, it distracts me from my work. Constantly. But today it made up for it... BIG TIME!!!

I had one of those "WHY DON'T I BACK UP MY FILES?" moments. My laptop crashed--with 15 finished manuscripts, over a dozen partial manuscripts and an uncountable amounts of pictures. None of which were backed up.

I tried to remain calm. I patiently waited for it restart and reload. But it went black. It wouldn't even turn on. Slowly, I started to FREAKING LOSE IT!!!!!

Praying to God, I promised to backup my files if given another chance. I was sweet to my kids, even nice to my awful dog. My husband got on the phone as I raced around the house looking for my car keys. I was taking it to Best Buy. Surely they'd know how to fix it!!!!

Just as I was texting my friend Trish and hysterically sending messages to Twitter... my husband yells out that he fixed it.

MY FILES--THEY LIVE!!!! Dudes, seriously. Back up your files. Mine are now safely loaded onto an external hard drive.

Anyway, when I went back to Twitter I saw all the awesome tweets from people!! Okay, this may sound lame... but I never felt so loved in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got advice, prayers, hugs. I mean, it was overwhelming support. Which as a writer... meant everything to me.

So thank you, Twitter. You freaking rock!

Now, lots of hugs back to:
