foxmonkeyWorking on Still Life, because it's the ... yikes. I was about to tell a lie. It's one ot *two* still unfinished series I've got hanging out there, languishing. I've wanted to finish it up before the end of the year, so I pulled out the remaining three segments to have a look.
Jeebus, each of the three have four-five incarnations. I have the original, then a copy I put on my laptop and later transfered back to disk, a copy that was on my harddrive, and another copy I worked on - very briefly - while visiting my Dad a while back. To make the project even more fun, all of them vary in places. Whee!
I've merged all the different parts for two of the remaining sections. The third will be a bit more work because, while I know where it's going and how it will end, the middle is sagging a bit. Hmmm.
Question: Does anyone out there have a writing journal? If so, has it been useful? What kinds of things do you use it for? If it's online, are select friends invited in for comments and stuff, or is it strictly private?
Learn me!

in case my computer dies or my back up disk gets corrupted, and for Jess's comments
Eeee! Yes, I've been looking at my disks more and more skeptically these days. I've only lost one story due to my harddrive (had JUST finished it, too), so I know the heartbreak.
I really like the idea of a beta's comments being right there with the segment in question, too.
VERY handy. Very handy indeed. :)
Thank you! That helps a lot.
