My unspoken goal has been to complete (and when I say complete, I mean totally finalize) a short story by the end of this week (which gives me only one more day).

I’m getting close, oh so close, but, the end of the week might be cutting it a little close.

SO the next time I post here, I’ll be done with the short story. There. I’ve said it.

Let it also be said that if I come back here, crawling on hands and knees to make a post without completing said short story, I shall do so feeling mired with guilt.

ALSO, you should really check out DropBox. It’s a free program. And, as it turns out, it’s quickly becoming the single most important, indispensable piece of non-Word Processor/non-OS software I own.

What does it do? It lets you save your files on several computers at once (so you effortlessly have several backups). In other words– it eliminates the need to carry around a jump drive.

The free version lets you synchronize up to 2GB. That’s not a lot of pics, and not a lot of mp3s, but it certainly is a lot of text files. It’s like the free version was made with us writers in mind….

Anyway, wish me luck. (& thanks!)
