I've had that happen to me, too. As a result if it's something that has gained a new chapter in the last two days, I will publish my work every ten to twenty minutes no matter how much work I have done and I have learned, most of the time, how to retrive my work if I get the warning that someone updated. If you go to the very bottom of that page, your work will be there. I remember one time I got that warning and I checked what they had actually did and I was kind of annoyed. They hadn't done anything major, only added the title in, which I had also done, and I have something like 14 choices figured out, and yet, theirs was the one that would have remained if I had pushed publish a second time. I copied my work minus the title, put it below the title, and hit publish.

Sometimes I will hand write out the choices and options and other times I will write them up in a word processor of some sort (usually notepad). Unless it is a long completed book, any edits I make I also "select all" and copy them so that I have my edit in my clip board. Too many annoying situations have taught me to do that or else. If you get that "someone else has published something since you started editing" page, you can still save your edit. Obviously there are times when you don't even get that page and weirdness ensues and it's just so annoying, but if you get that page, you can save it. It's at the very, very bottom in its own edit section.
