Somewhat off topic here, but is anyone else having problems loading baen.com?
Losing data: I strongly remember the document that instead of accepting all changes, turning off tracked changes and saving it, I rejected all changes, turned off tracked changes and saved it.
I believe it was due in about 2h when that happened.
hen I realized what had happened, I emailed the guy who needed the document (“Hi, I may have done a stupid.”) locked the computer, stood up and paced around wondering “How the heck am I going to fix this before we’re delinquent?”
Fortunately, I got stupidly lucky and had emailed a copy of it out earlier looking for reviews. I was able to retrieve that copy, clean it up for release and send it out. That was a fun evening…
Another near miss was, I tend to type things in the wrong order, so instead of deleting a stray character and typing ctrl-s to save it, I typed ctrl-a then delete, and was left wondering where my document went…
I really appreciate you guys. Your podcast really is the best straight writer advice podcast available. For example, while I knew about Submission Grinder, I hadn’t thought of searching through kickstarter for places to submit. I’ll definitely start doing that
Side note: when it comes to contests- you can never go wrong with submitting to Writers of the Future.
Really appreciated Larry sharing that he emails himself a copy of his writing-in-progress. I’ve been doing that for the past few years (ever since I lost about 20K of word-work on a novel), but I’ve always felt worried I was being a tiny bit neurotic doing so. Not any more.
Thanks for the podcast, gentlemen. It’s always a pleasure listening.
