My worst writing week started with a stolen laptop in a Denver coffee shop

I lost a whole novel draft and three months of notes because I didn't back anything up to the cloud. Has anyone else had a project disaster that actually forced you to change your process?

Watched a friend lose his entire thesis when his hard drive crashed. He now saves everything in three different places.

Ugh, that's the worst. I learned the hard way too. I keep a copy on my computer, one on an external drive I update weekly, and a third gets auto-saved to a cloud service. It sounds like overkill until you need it. That third backup saved a client presentation for me last month when my laptop just quit.

My laptop died last year and I lost a whole project.
