Let’s be honest, this is all of us

You’re goddamned right. 

Pro tip. My dad emailed his story to himself whenever he worked on it. That way he would have date and time stamps if anyone tried to steal it and also so that if the computer crashed and it was erased, he had an accessable copy to go back to.

I had to look at this for five minutes to realise that it was BBC and noty the onion

Seriously, either email your story to yourself, or back it up on google drive. 

If your hard drive dies for any reason, it’s a LOT less hassle, stress, and expense to get your WIPs back if you have ‘em somewhere you can get to from any computer you can log in to google with, than if you have to hire a data recovery service (which isn’t cheap, but is often an option that can get at least some of your files back) and cross your fingers that your most important files aren’t also the most damaged and can be salvaged.
