So last year when I did NaNoWriMo I thought it would be fun to serialize the novel in progress. And then people made me paranoid about “first publication rights.” So I password protected the blog that included (most) of the book.
This year I decided to skip the angst and just not put the book up at all, showing, when it’s finished, only to select individuals. I deleted the blog from last year…or so I thought <dunh, dunh, dunh!>
I was cleaning up my bookmarks today as I waited for something to print and just for fun I tried the link to last year’s novel blog. It worked! I was astonished. MT had assured me that the blog and all its directories had been deleted. Not so, Joe.
After a bit of work on the server, last year’s book is safe and sound. And let that be a lesson to me…always check up after the software program!
