Yes, unfortunately, I have many, many, many versions of some of my stories, and I'm working on collecting different versions of my memoir about going to college with five kids in tow. Thanks again for visiting and leaving a comment.

Gone are the quiet, quiet libraries, but there are less distractions at the library for me, and I force myself to stay in front of my computer no matter how many people walk past me to look out the windows to gaze at the lake.<br /><br />Yes, when I was writing the blog post, I forgot to mention that it is a great idea to send yourself an e-mail copy of your work once in a while. Good thing Theresa reminded us of it. <br /><br />P.S. I have nightmares of losing or breaking my flash drives. Thanks again for visiting my Adventures in Writing blog.

Revising in stages is a good way to go about it.

It made it so much easier because it was somewhat quieter than my home or school. I have made various copies of lesson plans. I like to pull from them when I am creating lessons. It's a little different than writing a story though. I agree with Theresa about emailing yourself a copy of your work, That way it's always there in cyberspace, unless you delete it. I can't tell you how many flash drives I have smashed. It's frustrating. I wish you all the luck.

Brutal, isn't it? Good luck with your test. You can do it, I know. You've shown time and again how dedicated you are.

Periodically, I'll email myself a copy as I work on a rough draft (in case the computer and backup device both somehow get destroyed). Then after I have a draft, I'll send manuscripts to beta readers. I know other versions are in cyberspace, so I don't clutter my Word Document box as much as I used to. <br /><br />Sometimes I need to tune everything out to revise. Now, I'm not having trouble with revision. I'm having trouble not revising and going on social media when I'm supposed to be studying for a test! <br /><br />Good luck as you keep at it.
