I think it just happened again! I was writing chapter 2 of Kronos when my keyboard stopped working. I tried typing in other places besides word, but it wasn’t doing anything. I went to turn off my computer and then the mouse froze. I tried doing a hard reset (holding the power button) and it didn’t do anything either. After a few minutes my laptop turned off, but the power button is staying lit and won’t do anything when I press it.
I really hope it comes back, but I’m skeptical. If it really is dead then this will put my writing on hold until I can get another one. If I had to give a rough eta it could take a month to replace it. I’m a truck driver so I’m rarely home to receive my packages and the laptop I’m planning to get is on a 3-week backorder.
At least I published part of my research like 10mins earlier :|
Edit: I ordered a new computer that should arrive May 10, hopefully I can get it and get back to my stories soon after.
