Yeah, so, for the last most-of-a-year I've had a particular project I've been working on to back up all my electronic writing - from the half-dozen places it's been scattered, content going back to early 2016 - into a single fucking repository.

I'm not done yet - still got over 500 sticky notes of stuff to import from my phone - but as of today...

I broke the million-word mark.

It wasn't a New Year's resolution last year to do anything like this, but yeah if you want to set yourself a resolution for this year to do something like, oh I don't know, 'back up a copy of everything 'I' (ie you) have written so it doesn't get lost to the void one day'...

Consider this you sign it's a goal you can pull off.

#or at least to within 99.7% retention rates which is still pretty fucking fantastic #but...yeah! not expecting people to really notice this but i'm glad for myself!!!#(and before anyone asks: yes I'm ALSO backing this up to an external drive so my progress isn't lost if my computer eats shit lol)#i'm using scrivener since its search function can cover the whole fucking doc and does so QUICKLY; and the tagging capability is NICE #but yeah god i just needed to brag about this since i've been joking with a friend for a few months now about breaking a million words...#AND I DID IT! 🍻#the monkey speaks #life of me #building walls to keep the waves back (an ode to the archivists)#he says 'its like all my birthdays have come at once'#triple redundancy is barely sufficient #the archive mirroring undertaking (and logs thereof)
