As far as Word goes there is an autosave button you can click that automatically saves your work as you write, it's a legitimate lifesaver

i can’t even express how much i love these writing vlogs !!!! i’ve watched all of them probably about four times now. i just love seeing writing progress as it happens and getting little behind the scene hints as the book is created. watching the ABB writing videos as they came out definitely made my experience reading it more special and i can’t wait to finally get to read better together as well

@polandbananasBOOKS 3 года назад

Thank you ❤❤❤

Realizing that the word "better" is also in the title of the new book and that this makes it all the more likely that we are getting closer and closer to the "xtinemay-literary-universe"....just saying...

@aspiringauthorerinrail2890 3 года назад

When you said, "Oh, the page count went down. That's cool." When you were tired. I felt that. Lol. I totally get it, with the cutting scenes, when I was revising my novel my editor (my mom), told me to cut the scene and I didn't know why, then, when I thought about it, I understood. Lol. I love the title, by the way! It's great! I will be ordering the paperback edition of "Again But Better" (even though, I have two copies already, lol). Great video Christine! Keep up the great work, you rock. Keep being awesome! P.S. "Folklore" is great writing music, by the way! Taylor knows us, writers so well!
