Writing-Saving Tips

With all the holiday exchanges, NaNo, and normal writing. I thought I'd share some of my saving habits.

I save all the time when I write. Pretty much after every few paragraphs I hit save. It's just one keystroke and it becomes a habit.

Don't just save to your hard drive. Save your story to a flash-drive or to some other source. The one time you write 2k in one night is the one time your HD fails

My biggest tip. Every time you write, e-mail yourself a copy of your fic. It's habitual. This way if your computer is hit my lightening, you've saved the latest version of your fic that is accessible from anywhere. I swear it becomes like second nature. When I'm done writing for the night; I send myself the doc.

It's awesome because if you do a major edit to a draft and realize later you don’t like it. That older version is in your inbox or recycle bin.

I also number my drafts. If I decide to go in and tweak a draft for some reason. I copy it and rename my new file Version 2 or V3, V4, before I make drastic changes. This way if I write for a bit and realize I liked the older version better--I have the older version in my writing folder.

Okay. I'm OCD. But after running ficathons for years and my own experiences, the version things has come in handy.

Hope these tips help others out there.
