It’s Day 4, and today is National Back Up Your Novel Day!

We like to celebrate NABUYND at least once a week in November. To take part in the festivities, don a crazy hat, then email your novel-in-progress to your favorite webmail account, save it to a flash drive, or make someone with a photographic memory read the whole thing. Then keep them out of direct sunlight until the next back-up. (Chris Baty)

So don’t forget to back up your novel today! You can email it to yourself, save it in a diskette, flash drive, burn it to a CD/DVD, upload to Google Docs. This will surely save you from lost-novel woes in the middle of the month. :)

At this point you should have 6,668 words in your novel. I can see soaring word counts here and there, and it’s really great to see that. :D If you’re not at that word count yet, fret not, there’s still time! I’m way ahead of my word count, thankfully, but I’m already encountering some roadblocks, but it’s all right. All in novel writing fun. :D

Happy writing!
