Hiya everyone. This is my first time posting here and I'm unsure as to what I've let myself in for. I decided back in 2019 to have another shot at writing an adult novel (previously I've just dabbled in children's fiction - a small novella and a picture book - and a couple of spoof fan fiction books, all self published of course, through my own company Little Films Ltd), so I've spent the last six years writing and re-writing, editing, re-writing again, losing it, finding it, burying it in soft peat for three years and finally recycling it as firelighters...
...hang on, no. That's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
I just accidentally deleted it and spent a week or so panicking and downloading every file recovery app I could find in the hope I could get it back from the aether. Then I realised that it had been saved to the cloud and I thanked the literary gods for making me shell out for the extra 2Tb of cloud space.
You see, I write on my phone using a really nice app called Storyist, which allows me to format it easily and save it as a PDF, RTF or even FDX file for importing scripts into Final Draft (I write scripts too, mostly just for fun as I have a background in television production and animation. Although I'm currently in the process of launching a Kickstarter for a little film project I'm planning).
Storyist is pretty cool though.
