This section is for things that are less standard stuff, and more about other things I do as an author. Things like staying organized, and backing up files, and mistakes I’ve made in the past.


If you couldn’t tell, I am quite big on backing up files. I used to have a teacher who said if you don’t have your files in three places then you don’t have them at all. Whether that is entirely accurate or not, there is almost nothing more deflating than losing months’ worth of work due to lost files, corrupt files, broken computers, and who knows what else.

Because of this, on the 1st of every month, I take all of my files and upload them to my Google Drive. I keep up to the last three months’ files in my Google Drive and just delete the oldest one when I run out of space. It’s just an extra layer of precaution.
