I was once writing a sex scene for one of my old books 'The Pornstar', and I was a good two or three A4 pages into the scene when my apartment decided to have a power cut. It was just for a second but long enough to wipe out everything I had just written.

I did the mature response; first shouting "FUCK!" multiple times at the computer before having a two day sulk, not wanting to write any more of the book. Then I thought to myself that it wasn't a huge problem, because I could simply get my head down and write a better scene.

A few hours later I finished the scene, and to be honest I was a lot happier with it than I was with the original scene. So as cliche as it sounds, these things happen for a reason. Yeah, it's frustrating, but it will lead to something better, whether that is a better post or a better mindset for the future.
