Hmmm. Usually you'd just go to the discard pile and hit "restore", but they were wiped a few months ago.

You may just need to take the source of the draft and remake it from scratch.

Edit: Wait, yeah, that's what you need to do. The Salvage yard is for solid ideas taken from drafts deemed unsalvageable. You need to just restart.

Yeah, that's what I did, but apparently, you can't have a draft with the same name as an old one. The old draft is titled Clingy Child, and when I made a new draft with the same name, it didn't launch at all.

Just name it something else then, and then change it to Clingy Child. Trust me, it only stops you in the initial creation phase.

Aha! Okay, thanks a lot, Warjay. :)

You can retitle the old draft, too.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
