Keep your story with you anywhere.

Maybe everybody else already knows this, but I just figured it out not long ago. I hate saving things to a physical device, and then carrying that physical device around with me, just so I can access it if I want to. There are always little compatibility issues that come up, and then maybe I want to write something but I don't have my flash drive... If I'm ever writing a short story to be submitted on a website somewhere, I use my account to store it online. I just start a new email to myself, write my story as the text of the message, and save it as a draft. I can access it from anywhere, from anyone's computer, and work on it any time I have a yen to. The same thing works for photos I may want to edit, as well.

Since you're already using , try Google Docs. It allows formatting, has more tools available than (such as word count and a better spell checker), and you can authorize another user to have access if you want someone to look over your story before you submit it. I've even done real-time collaboration with a chat window open. But don't worry, you can keep something completely private if you want.

That's neat. I never knew you could do that. Thanks!
