Ohhhhh Crap! Keeping Track of the Novel You're Writing.

I've done the unthinkable. I kept the book I'm writing on a flash drive and have lost it! What a dumb, stupid, idiotic thing to do I know. Fortunately I do have the up-to-date hard copy and partial updates on another computer, but still it's disastrous for a writer to be so careless. My advise, KEEP SEVERAL COPIES in various locations. I guess while I'm busy retyping, I may as well begin my re-writes.

For now all I can do is .........Take a deep breath......and move on.
