I recently created as post about yWriter, because when my computer crashed, I lost the information on yWriter, even though I thought I had it backed up on my flash drive. I downloaded yWriter again and started all over, saving it on my flash drive, and guess what? I tried opening it and it still didn't open, even though it is recent.and when I opened the app on the computer, the notes I took were not there. Yes, I might have no correctly saved my information, but since there is a good chance my computer will crash in the future (hopefully in the far future) I wasn't going to risk trying to use that app again. So I went into my email where I have a folder of all the emails I saved that has to do with writing and I found the EverNote link. I opened it and signed in and YES!! All my information was there, for all my books and other notes I took. The drawback is, this is stored in the cloud, so I would have to change the password often to keep it safe, but I just had to stop by before I go and review my notes on my one book so I can start working on it again.

Thank you, I am too, I had a lot of notes for my book and after scanning it last night, I had forgotten some characters and the layout of the homes (I am able to upload pictures of each character's home to help me get into the story)

My problem isn't finishing the books, I have 2 novels and 2 short stories (short stories were written because it was required for my writing classes) but my problem is editing it enough to grab an agent's attention.
