Charlie StrossTime for a footnote to this: nearly 40 years of writing my stories on computers has taught me two things:
1. Always have backups. More than you think you need, too (backups can go bad).
2. Always have an exit strategy from a hardware, operating system, or writing software choice: vendors can go bad or remove support for older products.
Sub-footnote: Linux isn't an exit strategy, it's a 9-5 job. Open source is less bad than closed, but rug-pulls are still possible.

Time for Day 13 of #WritersCoffeeClub , many thanks to @johnhowesauthor . How do you organise your writing projects? I work in Scrivener. One project per novel. Possibly supplementary notes in SimpleNote, before I import them into Scriv when I begin writing. Each project lives in a folder along with supplementary stuff, namely generated drafts in export file formats, backups, and so on. Current "live" projects temporarily reside in a separate folder in my Dropbox (for cross-device syncing).
