On Facebook and Twitter I’m in the habit of reminding folks to backup their files. Too often we forget to do that, and it’s rather simple and does not take much time. If you’re a writer, that’s your product and it makes sense to protect it. I have two backups for my writing: one on my keychain, and one that I alternate it with. Your backups can be in the cloud, too. Just so long as you have them!

Don’t let all of your hard work disappear in a fire or computer mishap.
