Woke up to find all that work gone. I was able to recover about a quarter of it by opening the .wbk file in Wordpad, but unfortunately, the best part looked like this:
Writer friends, two words: Auto Recovery. Turn that shit on, make sure there is a destination for the file, and set it to recover every minute. Or else, you get this.
