I should start wring at home

[TheeGoatPig]

I do most of my writing at work when I should be working. As a consiquence, most of my stories that I am working on have their latest updates at work. As a result, when I get the occasional urge to write from home, I don't have anything to work on, and would probably have to start a new story to get anything done.

I should start writing at home more than at work.

Where do you do most of your writing from?

I do my writing at home, except that sometimes I take my wife shopping and wait for her in the food court, and take my laptop with me. I'm retired and didn't start writing smut until after I was through work. Can't you save to a floppy or something, and carry it back and forth to work. Even if your computers don't have floppy drives, you can probably buy one and carry it too.

I could just email myself. But whenever I get around to emailing myself I don't have the urge to write. When I get the urge to write, I haven't emailed myself in months. I'm quite the unorganized person

I'd get fired if I wrote from work.

I write when I damn well please. I work from home

I can't believe I typoed the title...

I have a flash drive with my stories on it. That way, I can just plug it into which ever computer is in front of me. Even my little 64MB flash drive holds a lot of stories and a couple of pics.

I write wherever the mood strikes. Laptops are a writer's best friend!

I thought you said you should start wiring at home, and I wondered about that.

All the stuff I write for Lit I do at home when "the mood strikes". My "book" I do at work, during my lunch break. I don't have alaptop so I'm doing it the old fashioned way

I write in two places.

I used to write in three.

I save whatever I'm working on to a floppy and upload it on the other computer. That way I have the last day's versions permanently available even if one computer has a catastrophic failure.

I used to use my Yahoo! Briefcase but for a time one of my locations didn't have internet access so I reverted to floppies.

I used to use 5.25 floppy floppies when I had an IBM XT at work and at home. Earlier this year I gave my last XT to a local museum and transferred all my writing files from 5.25 to 3.5 floppies then to both hard drives.

I have hundreds of part-filled floppies with past versions of my writings. Even if both computers failed I would still have my files (and the hard copy printouts). I have only had two floppies fail to read in the last 20 years (and the information was duplicated elsewhere).

I work (part-time only) from home. I write at home. I have a CD-RW permanently mounted and use a Scheduled Task to write my fiction files (overwriting only the changed files) to the CD-RW a couple of times a week, and a daily task to write them to a separate folder on the hard drive.

If I needed to, I could take the CD-RW to a different machine and keep working, or transfer to a USB flash drive. As has already been said, you can get a lot of stories on a flash drive. Actually, thinking about it, I might add a task to write to a flash drive and keep one mounted semi-permanently.
