Where is my draft?

My draft did not auto save. It was titled “life lessons” and I cannot locate it anywhere. I have logged in through IE, Chrome and through the mobile app and cannot find it. Can you help?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

To locate drafts Dashboard > Posts > All Post > Drafts
http://deanfortythree.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=postProvided you did not create the post in the new Beep Beep Boop editor where it’s saved only on your browser, and is not auto-saved to the servers for your blog I can help you with this.
If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needs be.

I recommend:
1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
2. Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
3. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
4. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
5. Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it, or open another tab in the same blog and work on something else while it is still open. Save it properly and return to edit it later.
6. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.

Thank you, but I go to Posts and then All Posts but nowhere do I see a link for Drafts. I also don’t know what the Beep Beep Bop thing is. I merely logged onto wordpress.com through Internet Explorer on my PC like I always do and created a new post. Can you help me find it?

She just did. Read it slower.
Several weeks ago they changed the editor to a new one that does the “Beep Beep Boop” thing while it loads.
