To all the friends of Sam, I really need your help. I recently changed from using a desktop to a high level laptop but sadly in transferring the data, much of it did not copy across. The IT guy who did the whole process is refusing to take responsibility so I have taken the original hard drives to a data recovery company to see if they can help.
Sadly Sam's book and all his photos were among the casualties. The book which had taken me 4 years to write was finally complete and ready for editing, is gone and possibly will not be recovered. And so many of the high resolution photos which I had converted to line drawings for inclusion in the book have also disappeared, as have the drawings.
I can possibly redo the drawings from the 100's of photos on FB and have two options re the book itself. I try to rewrite it in the format it was in, or I can actually reproduce the entire thing using the FB posts as content and then commenting on the context in a summary for each section.
Either way will illustrate his journey from a fearful dangerous horse to a wonderful trustworthy free spirit - but perhaps using the actual posts might be more interesting to readers.
Please give me your thoughts on which way you might prefer.
I tried to create a poll but FB won't let me in this format. So just say A or B
A - conventional book
B - using actual FB post with a storyline and summary after different sections.
Thanks so much
