Cleaning Up

winters_queenYou never realize all the places you can save a file until you need to have some spare space on the hard drive, jump drive, external drive, etc. and see where you can make the space.
I have had two serious hard drive failures since getting a computer in 1997. One where I got data recovered and one where the guy who was doing the recovery never bothered to return my calls or send the information to me (that still pisses me off). So I've taken to saving a document all over the place.
I'm trying to organize my jump drives (HA!) and see duplicates upon duplicates of the same thing. Or several updated files of the same thing. *cough* So, that's one thing I want to do is clean up the jump drives. Save the SINGLE files on the external hard drive and then upload the important files to Dropbox or create an Gmail account to just use as storage (Gmail is up to 10GB now. that's a lot of word docs.) Plus organizing the stuff that I had printed out and will more than likely have to retype stuff and see if the stories are worth something or just weird drabbles that will just be that.
I'm trying to do this as part of getting my shit together and doing something that I love to do.
