Editor's Note

The older I get, the busier I get, and the more I realize I don't have time to do everything that "should" be done. For the last couple of years in a row, one of my New Years Resolutions has been to back my work up properly. But of course, I never had time to copy all the files over once a week (or a month, or a....) when my little reminder-to-self would pop up on my calendar.

The answer? Automation.

There are a lot of services out there that will let you automatically or almost-automatically back up your computer to the cloud online (the safest option in case your house burns down) for prices from free to "some money": Dropbox, Carbonite, Crashplan, etc. You could spend hours online reading reviews and comparisons of the different plans. I ended up going with SugarSync, which lets me choose which folders to back up online and also has a "magic folder" that I use to hold files I want to transfer between my laptop and computer desktop. The free plan has enough storage to let me keep all my writing safe.

Check it out for yourself: https://www.sugarsync.com/referral?rf=dddaenx2wzs79&utm_source=txemail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=referral
(and yes, if you use this referral link, I get a little extra storage free)

And now? My writing backs itself up, easy-peasy.

What I've been up to lately, writing-wise:
* I did a PodCastle reading of Eugie Foster’s haunting modern fantasy, Black Swan, White Swan
(listen here: http://podcastle.org/2011/11/22/podcastle-184-black-swan-white-swan/ , join the discussion here: http://forum.escapeartists.net/index.php?topic=5659.0 ).
* I've also updated Circus of Brass and Bone, the post-apocalyptic steampunk story about a circus traveling through the collapse of civilization. I put a new episode up in December and another one will be going up within the next couple of days. Read it here.

Keep writing, keep submitting, and good luck!
