I've done exactly the same thing, editing the wrong doco. I just thought of using colour so haven't tried it yet.

So I did. Then I wanted to start on the novella project that will, I fear, eat March. I did that too. Challenges surmounted by dint of having a goodly bit of driving to do. (No, don't ask. Just don't.)<br /><br />Now I need a bologna sandwich with mayo, lettuce, and sprouts.

And you have to come up with your own word. Every day. Not sure if I'll make it all the way through the month. Maybe cursing will help this?

Saving to different thumb drives, internal and external drives, etc. can all get very confusing. I have much to learn. But when all else fails I have my most recent pages stacked up around me. Yeah, I know, killing trees, but I can't help it.

They were so good when I was a kid, but I tried eating one a few years ago and couldn't take more than a few bites.<br /><br />I've done that with old and new manuscripts. Can get so confusing. It's a good idea if you give them completely different names so you don't get too confused. What a pain. I can't tell you how many times I've stared at different drafts wondering which one was the best one. After 70,000 words, it's not easy to tell at a glance!<br /><br />Good luck with the steady freelance gig!Carolina M.
