Self Publishing - Three Steps Backward & One Leap Forward

Now that my Publisher and I are closing in on the next book I thought I'd fire up the computer and printer that I used for the books, or so I thought.    Ran a few copies with no problem and then the printer puked out on me.   It wasn't an expensive one and I think it printed around 600 books which isn't bad for a $70 printer.   Off to Walmart I went to buy another one and before long I was all hooked up, or so I thought.   Turns out I hooked up the cables in the wrong order and the computer crashed.   It was an old computer and so that didn't bother me to much.   The books were backed up on a zip drive and so once I got another computer I installed my publisher program and printer program and was all ready to print or so I thought.   Turns out the zip drive I had my "Rescue" books on was damaged and the files were gone, or so I thought.   By some weird coincidence I ended up backing the books and another zip drive by mistake.   Wow what a ride.   Once again God reminded me that you really don't know what a day will bring.   Three steps backward and then one great leap forward!!
