yo,
after three years of writing. i've lost my entire writing portfolio. two novels. hundreds of pages of notes and conceptualisations. and lots of vomitings. and my hardrive is screwed, i don't want technical help, or preachings, about how i should have backed-up, the truth is that i was reliant on expression. my entire life history was written on paper, in a format somewhere between blogging and automatic writing, i was writing 10-20 pages a day of pure expression, stream-of-conscious, no emotion, no thought, no experience, no event, nothing escaped my vomiting. and now lost, i feel as if my life, my identity, my past, my creative soul has been destroyed.
how does one start afresh?
