One thing with which writers must occasionally deal is a new
computer. That was my circumstance this week. For months my PC has been giving
signs of crashing—best to deal with the issue now than to wait until I have to scramble
to retrieve precious files. One thing I had done was to get an external hard
drive and a thumb drive, two backups for my work. Plus, I have an editor who
has stored my completed novel, on her computer. Thanks to her, big time.
Our son drove from Raleigh to the Asheville area to
assist with the decision of what to get. He is quite the expert when it comes
to all things tech. Believe me when I tell you that he did not get that gene from his Mama. Before his arrival, he did a lot of
research about what I may need—this after asking a myriad of questions
regarding my use of anything I do on my computer.
