WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 4 -- Thursday

[linaewen]

Hello on Thursday!  What kind of a writing day has it been today -- or yesterday, if today hasn't gotten going yet?

•     I thought about my fic once or twice
•     I wrote
•     I did some planning and/or research
•     I edited
•     I've sent my fic off to my beta
•     I posted today!
•     I'm taking a break
•     I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

Discussion:  How do you deal with writing when you are not always working in the same place or are away from home?  Do you have your work on multiple computers?  Store your drafts on a flash drive and carry it with you? Make use of the cloud or other backup services, carry a notebook (electronic or paper), write on envelopes or napkins?

I was very tired yesterday so let myself get distracted by mindless things instead of writing. Hoping today will be more productive!

I make use of a variety of tools that allow me to write when I am not at home. I have my current writing projects in Dropbox/Google Drive and also keep them backed up on a flash drive dedicated to writing. I also keep a notebook handy because sometimes it's just easier to write on paper when an idea comes. I have been known to use napkins and church bulletins, as well. Lately, I don't concentrate as well unless I am home at my computer, so my writing away from home has suffered accordingly -- but I try to remain prepared for any opportunity!
