Show Notes
Accidents happen. Some are worse than others. For a creative, a total computer crash is not great—especially when under a heavy deadline.
Scott & A talk about how we dealt with it during the final weeks of Scott’s active deadline for SLAY. What plans and procedures did we already have in place that let us keep writing? What did we miss that hurt us? What should you do to protect your priceless work?
Pro tip: no matter how you back up — be sure to back up. Even just a flash drive separate from your computer can help.
