Well...I think something funny is going on in the kidlitosphere! First, it was Kelly Herold's computer that crashed not so long ago. This morning it was my computer. My husband--who is much better with technology than I--just set off for Canada. He left behind one of his laptops, which has no word processing.
I know, I know...I should have backed up all my files--but I didn't! I was planning on getting a brand new computer soon. I guess not soon enough. Michele, don't scold me! I've learned my lesson.
Everyone, keep your fingers crossed that I'll be able to retrieve all my files--especially my children's literature course syllabus and all my poetry manuscripts. I've had luck before when my computer got zapped twice during lightning storms in two successive summers and a wonderful tech at my husband's company retrieved EVERYTHING for me.

- I worked as an elementary school teacher for more than three decades and as a school librarian for three years. I also taught a children's literature course at Boston University from 2002-2008. I served on the advisory board of the Keene State College Children’s Literature Festival from 2006-2008 and as a member of the NCTE Poetry Committee from 2009-2012. "Things to Do," my first children's book, won the 2018 Margaret Wise Brown Prize in Children's Literature and a 2018 Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Honor Award.

Yikes. Good luck with the computer, Elaine. Mine was making weird noises yesterday, but eventually stopped. I had my fingers crossed.
Oh Elaine, I am so sorry. I just got a new laptop and have been worried sick that I'll lose it and all my work along with it. I must back it up soon! I'll keep a good thought and hope all your files are retrieved soon.

Susan and Tricia,
Thanks for your concern. Fortunately, I have hard copies of most of my poetry manuscripts and my syllabus--but that would still mean hours of work typing everything over again. I think I need to take a computer course...and will definitely back up all my files from now on.
My husband just got a virus in his other laptop recently.
Oh no, Elaine. Keeping my fingers double-crossed for you. Computer troubles are so stressful!
I'm backing up everything NOW! If crashes come in threes like other events, both happy and sad, I don't want to make up the trifecta of crashes!
Elaine!! I hope your computer guy gets your baby fixed. Mine saved my files--now all backed up on a handy-dandy stick I wear around my neck :)
My fingers are crossed!!
Good luck! I'm so scared this'll happen to me. I. need. to. back-up!
Computer vibes for you!
