In this case, the icon applies to me.
I was reading something, just reading along when all the sudden the solution to a years old original story that I'd abandoned came to me in a blinding flash.
Unfortunately, I lost the damned manuscript in a hard drive crash and have *no* clue where the backup is. I lost several stories when that drive died, but this was one of the three I was most invested in.
Maybe I can resurrect it (and you have *no* idea how appropriate that word is) now that I've *FINALLY* figured out how to finish it.
I really need to get better about keeping track of my backups. I'd gone through a massive electronic cleanup right before the drive crashed and I'm afraid I ditched all my redundant backups only to find they weren't so redundant after all.
*headdesk*
It's such a cool story, too.
At least I think so. I can think of several markets for it, too.
