Writing Tools: Writing through Storms By Susan Hanniford Crowley

Blizzard of 2013 in Connecticut

These tools are for the writers!

Keep pens/pencils and an old-fashioned paper journal or notebook close at hand. You may be inspired and then have a power outage.
Keep a paperback or two of the writing craft handy.
Before the storm, if you have a warning, back up your work with a flash drive (aka thumb drive), email it to yourself, or email it to your editor or a trusted friend. My editor knows to keep an email called The Title in Progress just in case. It always has the latest version of my novel attached.

That’s all for now. Backing up your work is a good daily practice.

Be warm, my friends, and read. It relaxes the body, boosts memory, improves concentration, and opens the heart to new and wonderful ideas.

All the best always,
Susan
