  Were you using the new editor, or the WP-Admin editor?

  If you were using the new editor, drafts are usually saved in local storage, so if you go to this page

  https://wordpress.com/post/

  You may see a link at the top of the page that will let you restore the draft.

  Please let me know if that works.

  I was using the new editor (the icon with the pencil in it) and can’t see the draft from yesterday. Guess it is gone.

  That’s a bummer, but if the draft was lost yesterday, you are right, it’s probably gone.

  To help avoid this in the future, click the save button at least once early in the writing process, and then every 5-10 min. as that helps ensure your drafts get saved on the server as well as in your browser.
