Where do you house all your writing?
In a notebook, loose scrap papers, online? If you were to lose your work, how might that feel?
Nothing is worse than pouring your heart out onto a page and then, weeks or months later, finding out that your precious piece is no longer there!
How can we prevent this?
Start by organizing your work. Have a central place where you keep your work and back it up digitally.
If you have scraps or write in a designated notebook, take a picture. It seems super silly, but that digital copy will save you a headache.
Normally type your work on Word or Google Docs? Save it consistently and have a backup stored in a thumb/hard drive or cloud storage.
With digital storage, you can create folders designated for genres or by dates. Choose what works best for you.
Please share how you’ve been organizing your written work in the comments.
