Wd External Hard Drive Light Blinking But Not Working Mac

Wd External Hard Drive Not Mounting Mac

Hey everyone, I've been using a WD My Passport 500gb for about 4 months and so far and I've had no problems with it until today. I ejected it and about 30 minutes later I went to plug it back in. The WD smartware popped up, but my hd didn't. I'm not really sure what I did if anything to cause this. I don't know if this is a big deal but the light on the hd is blinking. I've never noticed if it always does this or if it means something else. The disk inside is spinning too. I have almost everything on this thing..does anyone know what may be wrong with it and how to fix it. Thanks in advanced
