What's the highest word count you've ever lost?

[WarrenTheConey]

The other night I was working on one of my many, (probably too many), short stories. I decided to move a folder that held the scene I was working on, and then attempted to save the document the scene was in. The document acted strangely and then I realized I had just moved the file itself, I double checked the file and found the thirteen hundred word scene I had just finished, had not been saved. Luckily, I keep scenes, completely separate, while I write, so I only lost one scene. Of course, being the surly, impatient person, I am, I decided to end my writing session for the evening. But this made think, it has to happen to other writers now and then, right?

So tell me, what's the highest word count you've ever lost, when your work wasn't saved?

The highest word count I've ever lost, was one thousand eight hundred words.

I'm sure that's not much for the more prolific among you, but it's a lot for a featherweight like me.
