How Do Professional Writers Deal with the Grief And the Realities Of?

How do professional writers deal with the grief and the realities of losing portions of written texts due to technical issues or user error? What are ways to prevent this?

This is a partial list I wrote about writer’s block. What you need to do is find out where the story went off the rails and strive to correct its trajectory. Recheck your outline, who knows, maybe where it’s going now may not be your vision, but could be better than the original idea. Or it could be one of the following. You’ve written yourself into a corner you don’t know how to get out of You’re trying to force a situation into a story that doesn’t fit You’ve tried to force a character to do something he/she would never do You’ve come to a scene you’re struggling with, a love scene, a fight scene, the villain reveal, etc. You’re struggling with the description of a magic system, a system of commerce, religion, time travel, etc. The story took an unexpected turn and you can’t get it back on track You’ve lost interest in the story You’re not sure the ending fits, or you haven’t figured out the ending yet. As others have said, you can put it aside for now. Work on something else.
