*Sigh* I once started on a fantasy novel. It was good, I had a killer prolouge and opening chapter, as well as and idea for a great ending. Unfortunately, just as Chapter 4 was getting well developed and I was ready to start Chapter 5, the hard drive crashed and I didn't have it on a floppy. I was never able to start it again; mostly because I'm lazy, but partially because the first words I wrote will always be the "right" words, and any attempt to rewrite it will fall short of the original.
