Have you lost drafts you made when you were younger?

I've made 3 short stories when I was in H.S.... 2can turn into a book and the other one is a story about a painting. I've lost their drafts and I regret misplacing/losing them. So now, I have to rewrite all over again not for any purpose aside from of course... I wrote them for weeks and so they're treasures to me. It's too bad I wrote in notebooks. I'm not into computers 5 yrs ago. And so now I'm stuck with rewriting them, revising some of my ideas- 3 stories put to one and then 4 hanging ideas for new stories. LOL I just don't get enough of these dreams of mine. Amateur/ignorant as I am in writing... I still write and it's one of my dreams to publish a book/novel one day. I also write poems... others were lost too but the deeper poems with emotions, lckily I've kept. Do you spend time writing too?

Yeah, I love to write. People encourage me to write children's stories, but I haven't got round to it yet. Unlike you, I loooove my laptop and would never do any writing without it!

I would also love to have my won laptop and maybe then I could finish the fiction I'm writing now (even as an amateur writer/ no background of writing). If only we could afford because as of now, we have so much to spend on. We have 2 laptops but none of them can be called as my own and almost half of my dad's salary is spent for my medications. Well, I'm getting used to sharing the laptop anyway. Maybe it's not yet time to finish the whole fiction story this time. Maybe I'd get to it some day, I just hope it wouldn't take that much time...

Don't worry, that laptop will certainly come one day. Maybe we could do a collaboration thing one day. What kind of medication do you have to get that costs so much? Sorry
