I keep it in a folder marked 'novel' and 'short stories'.

If I turn on the laptop, it will synch with dropbox as well. <br /><br />You get 2GB free and you can get more space by referring other people (<a href="https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTExNzg1MTI5" rel="nofollow">my referral link</a>) or by buying an upgrade. But as I only store textfiles, 2GB is more than enough for me. <br /><br />(They aren't paying me, honest. I just really love the system)Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05925593802209715440noreply@blogger.com
