Today I thought I'd start working on my old trilogy WIP (I put this in goals and accomplishments, because my goal is to turn it into ONE book.) So anyway, I start editing, and then I realize...NO! It's not the most recent version, I just spent hours editing an old version...or at least I thought (there was this one scene I could have sworn I'd changed, but it turns out I'd only outlined the change, not edited it into the actual ms yet). So then, I had to go back and look through about twenty-five unmarked disks - because lazy me didn't label them...only to find out that I WAS working on the most recent version.

Oh boy....

Anyway, I'm off to go trim down three books into one. Wish me luck - I'm gonna need it.

Wow, what a task.

I'm lazy too and never mark my disks. Bad us.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Good luck to you ! I'm living proof merging stories together into one, more cohesive and intelligent piece, can be done. :)

I'm still strugglin' with the idea of properly marking my files, though!
