Just wanted to share this with all of you so you don't have this happen.
I have been working on my NaNo project on a flash drive. Taking it to work and spending breaks working on my project. Keeping it with me and working every chance I get.
Last night I picked up my kids from Gymnastics and due to Voting had to go in the back entrance to the schools Gym.
Unknown to me I dropped the flash drive. I spent the night looking for it and had no luck.
This morning i went back with a flash light at 5am.
mind you its still raining. I managed to find the drive.
its fine the story is safe.
Long story short the "moral" of this story is.
Make a back up in a couple of places. Do not be a Rock and come very close to loosing your only copy of your project.
You may now laugh. (and make a backup of your book)
Thanks and have a great day.
Sadly I usually have 2 or 3 copies in my Gmail account and or dropbox. As a gamer and a researcher I usually make a daily copy of everything expecting bad luck and power failures. So even the ones of us who are super careful can and will make a mistake.
Now back to my NaNo
