So I’m all set to work on my WIP. I’ve got a couple of hours blocked out and the juices are flowing. I look for my portable USB drive that goes everywhere with me.
It’s nowhere to be found. Curses!
It looks like I may have left it at home during one of my many purse changes this weekend.
Instead, I decide to work on my presentation for the BWRC, reviewing the presentation and jotting down my notes.
It’s on the USB drive. Which is at home.
Fortunately, all is not lost. I remember that I emailed it to my friend to review. At first, I can’t find the email. But after much searching, it turns up. Great! At least these hours won’t be a total waste.
Besides, it gives me something to post here.
Memo to self: email all WIP’s and presentations to myself after each draft. That way I can always access the latest and greatest without having my USB drive. And find a way to keep that USB drive handy.

I’ve had two hard drives to crash on me. Fortunately, I adopted the practices you mentioned: emailing my work to myself and saving important files on a flash drive.
