FUCK

i keep all my poems in a variety of word files obsessively stored in a number of places and constantly updated and recopied to new media. palm pilot, CDs, zipdrives, web storage, hard copies, you name it.

i have been extraordinarly lax, however, in moving the LJ poems (most of which are written in the posting field and then edited publicly over time before final edits offline in word) from here to the storage media.

i just did that for the first time since late april.

i pulled off 72 poems. and i didn’t even pull them all off…

scary number of poems to have written and not saved. i had a lot on paper, of course, but mostly when i would drop the text into wordpad prior to a reading so i could have a copy.

nothing permanent beyond here.

jeez.
