Writing a book
Hey there! I am 18 F
Well since the beginning of the year I started thinking about writing a book, I had a really good idea and I wanted to incorporate my art into it. Well I started writing my book in may, I got a boyfriend and kind of got distracted, but I got a good 50 pages into it, well after we broke up I was going through my purse one day and found the jump drive I kept my story on, well I plugged it into my computer and basically went through it and finished it, I rewrote a lot of the story and changed a lot of things, I even spent a good portion of time drawing some art for it, I put it on my jump drive after I edited it and made it look really nice. I put it in my pocket and changed my clothes and forgot I usually do my laundry and take everything in the pockets out and such, Well my mom was just trying to be nice and do my laundry since I had been working all week, well, stupid me didn't take the jump drive out and it got destroyed, and even more idiotic of me I didn't back the files up.
The story is basically about a couple and the girl ends up murdered, the man finds her and makes a deal with the devil to bring her back, he basically has to do whatever the devil wants until he becomes completely consumed and isn't even himself anymore, basically a psychotic, violent person.
I spent months writing and making the art for this story, I thought it was really good but after I completely did all that I feel unmotivated to rewrite it all over again, and I know it won't exactly be the same.
How do I get motivated to write again? And is it even worth writing again, it's basically a gory horror story.
Advice from writers is highly appreciated, thank you in advance.

Wow... as a fellow aspiring book author, I can't imagine how I'd feel if I lost my books. You just have to remember that you write for YOU. You don't write for money. You do it for the love of writing.
Maybe take a week off before you start writing, and just brainstorm. Try to rewrite some major scenes after you've cleared your head. Sometimes good things are destroyed so better things can take their place- perhaps it is a blessing in disguise and you will not only make it a better story, but learn more about yourself through the process.
I can relate a little bit because I lost a piece of my book I hadn't yet copied onto the computer. I rewrote most of the scene and felt amazing afterwards... I really like the way I wrote it the second time BETTER.
Good luck & all the best.
I'll pray it turns out even better than before! God bless. Never stop writing :)
