Earlier today I finished my twelfth draft (103,718 words) of TBW.
And I would just like to remind you to make sure you have some kind of plan in place to retrieve backup files on your computer. The Mac I'm working from is less than a year old, and I didn't realize that I needed to activate Time Machine if I wanted to be able to access older files. Lesson learned. But I lost my eleventh draft.
There are worse horror stories out there. I still had the tenth draft to work from, and my youngest arranged her Totoro figurines on my desk to cheer me up.
But make sure you have a safety net in place. If you don't mind sharing, I'd love to hear what you use.
