Day 2

I also wrote one comment on AO3, yay. :-)

Also mucked around with various fic files...

When I was going through and making slight revisions/additions to the draft last night, I had a feeling something was missing - I was sure I remembered writing a bunch of other stuff - tonight I went looking and found another draft with a lot more material that I had since written! I'm too tired tonight to combine the drafts, but I emailed them both to myself in case I lose one or the other (or chunks thereof) in the combining process. I tried Word's automatic combining feature, but it assumes that one document needs to dominate over the other, and they really need to take turns being top and bottom.

(I email myself drafts every time I make a change, for this very purpose. If I hadn't found the document, I could have dug it out of the email.)

I also formatted for printing the prompt fic I of which I recently completed a first draft (so TODS can beta-read), only to find out that printer thinks it's offline. This happens now and again; I'm just too tired to mess with it tonight. So I emailed that to myself, too. (If I happen to print it at work tomorrow, no one will notice. *shifty eyes*)

Yay for a comment and fics, and hooray for finding that second draft! Best of luck with combining them. And very wise to back everything up with emails (I use USB sticks, and try to remember to update the stored files reasonably often while writing/making changes to a draft). Oh dear, printers are a hassle—no, I'm sure no one will notice :D
