This writing tip is brought to you from Twitter. Thanks to Yasmine Galesnorn.

As writing we are always worried/concerned about our work. Some are more anxious about saving the latest version of a manuscript than others. But I saw this idea and had to share it. And anyone who has ever lost your files after a harddrive crash know how important it is to have a backup.

Writing tip of the day: Create a private gmail account. Use it for ONLY this. At the end of each day’s work, send your chapters/manuscript TO that private account. This way you can access it anywhere on any computer, and if something (gods forbid) happens to your house or computer… you always have the most current version of your work from the day before.

She got this tip from Joann Ross.
