Looks like this is a rather common experience. I too save my comments in a seperate document before posting. Mostly just a simple txt file.
Loosing your hard work like that in an instant can be very frustrating. I paint on glass and over the years I (only) broke 4 completed pieces. Between one and four weeks of work put into each 😱
Oh man, I can imagine... The shattered glass at your feet as your still holding the paintbrush..
Thank you <3
