Saving #StoringYourWork by Janice Seagraves

My rough drawing of a saved icon

I was going to post about not doing my anual goals for the New Year, but as I seached for an old manuscript from two to three years ago, I decided to post about saving or storing your work.

I usually really good at saving or storing my work, but for some reason this one manuscript didn't get saved. I'll have to rewrite it from scratch. Which means more work for me, but in the long run it might work out all right since I was going to turn the 50K manuscript into a 20K short story.   

I have an external harddrive, which I fully recongmend. But my story wasn't saved there either.

I also seached my Dropbox. Wasn't there either.

I also checked my Microsoft cloud. Nothing but the manuscripts I've been working on.

I had to download my entire Mozy storage to see what was in there and it took forever to download.

Here's a list of online storage here.

But, whatever you use, but consistant. Save your data.

Here's an excerpt from a story I didn't lose:

I'm so excited about our new anthology, it has my story Cowgirl Up which follows my earlier story Follow Your Cowboy Heart in the Roping the Cowboy: 7 Romances on the Range. 

Follow Your Cowboy Heart was about Maxwell Dréville, and you get to meet his family, including his sister Gwen. Cowgirl Up is Gwen's story about how she met her man.  This story is actually from an much, much earlier never before published manuscript that I wrote ages ago. I love Gwen and her family. This is a story from my heart. 

Enjoy.

Arthur Castel is a bored, handsome, charming playboy and college student who has dated many women in his social circle, but none of them keeps his attention for long. Enter Gwen Dréville, a spunky hard-working country girl, whom Arthur sets his sights on seducing. Gwen has a secret— she’s a powerful empath. Her ability has a dark side. When someone makes her angry she can find their worst fear and make them relive it. But, as a virgin, she doesn’t know if she possesses the family curse to sexually bond with whomever she sleeps with for the very first time.

Excerpt: (first date)

Author and Gwen took their drinks and number plaque to a nearby table. 

Gwen glanced at Arthur with a twinkle in her eye. “Air hockey?” 

“I thought you’d never ask.” He pulled out his wallet. “I’ve got to warn you, I’m quite good at it.” 

“So am I. Feed the machine already.” She took off her new jacket and tied her T-shirt in a knot to keep it out of the way, but it accented her hourglass figure. 

Arthur tore his gaze away long enough to feed the coin machine, then slipped a token into the air hockey table. I’m glad she suggested playing a game. Most of the women I date would have complained they might break a nail. 

They got it going pretty good for a while. Gwen won the first round. During the next one, Arthur used his longer arms to his advantageadvantage and won a point. 

“Okay, Gwen, if I win this time, you’ll have to give me something.” 

“Like what?” 

“A kiss.” He winked. 

“What do I get if I win?” 

“Twenty bucks,” he said. 

She arched an eyebrow. “Does that mean my kisses are worth twenty bucks?” 

“I don’t know—I haven’t kissed you yet. Your kisses might be worthless,” he told her with a teasing grin. 

The animation in her face disappeared. “Put a token in the machine, smarty pants.” 

The game went on for a long time. Their pizza finally arrived, but neither still scored a point on the other. 

“If I didn’t know better, I’d think you didn’t want a kiss.” He slammed his paddle into the puck. 

“Maybe I’m afraid you’ll have bad breath after eating the pizza.” She darted forward to counter his move. 

Arthur bounced the puck off both sides, but she managed to hit the puck back. 

“What if I kiss you before we eat the pizza?” He tried the move again. Is she tiring? 

“In front of all these people?” she asked, countering his play. 

“What people? There’s hardly anyone in here. What kind of kiss do you think I’m going to—uh—give you?” He executed a move that won him the air hockey championship on campus. 

She knocked the puck back. “Don’t know, what is a twenty-dollar kiss like?” 

Damn, she’s good. “You’re trying to distract me.” 

“You don’t know me, so I’ll tell you.” She punctuated each thing she said with a hit on the puck. “I don’t cheat. I don’t lie. And I mean everything…I…say.” Then she madesome fancy maneuver his eyes couldn’t follow and scored the winning point. Gwen’s bangs fell over the side of her lovely face and her ponytail lay across one shoulder. Sweat glisten on her skin. Her breasts heaved with exertion while her smile twisted to one side. 

She’s sexier right now in that old paint splattered T-shirt, without any makeup than Katrina or any other woman in my friend group. “I guess you really don’t want a kiss after all?” 

“Maybe, or I really need the twenty for gas,” she countered. “Come on let’s eat before the pizza gets cold.”

Wishing you a Simply Irresistible New Year!

***Happy New Year***

Here’s wishing you and yours a happy, healthy 2018! I managed to stay pretty busy in 2017 and as a result will have a few new releases this year. First on the 2018 roster is Simply Irresistible, another eclectic boxed set from some of the best-selling and award winning authors of the Romance Books ‘4’ Us group. You can pre-order now, and/or it will be available January 23. My contribution to the set is Cross My Heart, a sexy romantic suspense novella that I’ve revised from a previously published story that reviewers called…”sexy, tense, fast-paced, and a book you don’t want to miss”.

Cross My Heart

Liberal talk show host, Valentine Cross and police detective Jack Sutton can’t keep their hands off of one another until their obvious differences start to interfere with their careers, and Jack makes the mistake of issuing an ultimatum that Val fears will destroy them both.

Six months after walking out of Valentine Cross’ life because she refused to marry him, Jack Sutton receives an assignment that sends him right back into her arms, but will she forgive him when she finds out why?

A long time ago Valentine vowed to never break another promise, but that’s exactly what Jack wants. Her connection to an underground women’s shelter might be the key to finding a missing suspect whose life might be in danger, but at what cost?

Old secrets and fears give way to exploding passions as the lovers have to decide whether to trust one another, or walk away from a second chance to be together.

Excerpt: PG13

She gave up and angled her wheels, tapped the gas and inched into the snow-banked curb at the bottom of the hill before setting the parking brake. Winter in Kansas City was always an adventure but tonight’s storm had added an extra layer of ice to the three feet of snow they’d already gotten.

She slipped her purse over her shoulder and swept her spiky red hair under a pink stocking cap. Her boots slid when she swung her legs out of the car and tried to stand so she dug the black stiletto heels into the ice and used them as picks to get to the semi-shoveled sidewalk. She was halfway up the hill when she recognized Jack Sutton’s empty brown Ford pickup parked in front of her house.

Valentine went hot and cold at the same time and could have sworn her heart skipped a beat. What the hell was he doing here?

Maybe he’d come to return his key. He could have mailed it six months ago.

Maybe he missed the sludge she called coffee. She was out of milk so he was out of luck because it was the only way he’d drink it.

Maybe he was through issuing ultimatums about getting married.

He hadn’t wanted to take no for an answer and had scoffed at her fear that one day he’d resent the fact that he was losing promotions because of something she had done or said or both.

Then again, maybe she’d missed the memo about hell freezing over because for the past six months she’d figured that’s what would need to happen to get him to walk back through her door again.

He’d spread ice-melt on the steps and her concrete slab front porch. He had to have brought it with him because he’d instinctively known that she probably didn’t have enough on hand. It wouldn’t start working until it got a little warmer but that was Jack, still looking out for her as if she were helpless. Once upon a time that might have made her angry. Today, it reminded her of how well he knew her and all of the little considerate things he’d done when they’d been together.

Right before he’d turned into a macho jackass.

She could hear him stomping to the door before she reached it. She closed her eyes and heard the door swing open.

“Who have you pissed off this time?” he growled in a voice so deep its rough promise curled inside of her like a dark vine trying to take root. She shivered and opened her eyes.

Slavic cheekbones a woman would sell her soul to possess were shadowed by dark stubble. He was dressed in his basic uniform of a dark tee shirt and jeans. It was winter so he was wearing boots instead of leather lace-up tennis shoes. Even scowling, he was handsome—if you liked wiry junkyard dogs with a double dose of bad-boy attitude.

“I piss off a lot of people. It’s hard to say.” She fought to keep her voice even, to keep from reaching for him. “Why are you in my house?”

A member of Romance Writers of America and published since 2009, I write contemporary, paranormal, erotic and historical romance, throwing a little mystery and suspense in for good measure. Currently self-published and published with Decadent Publishing, I like nothing better than a story that contains a little mystery and a lot of romance. 

When not dreaming up stories featuring heroes who aren’t intimidated by strong heroines, I can be found haunting antique and thrift stores for unique finds, or planning a new flower garden. I live in the mid-west with my husband of many years, who knows his way around the kitchen and saves me from starvation when I’m trying to make a deadline.
