Do you back up your writing in any way? Do you make copies of your work to an external portable hard drive, flash drive, sync it with or upload it to online storage, email it to yourself? Or do you not back any of your work up at all?
Do you do a majority of your writing directly on a keyboard to screen, or on a notepad, or both equally?
Have you lost anything important because you simply didn't back it up? Did you discover something new and delightful while having to re-craft that work?

Personally, I have software that allows me to sync some of my writing to an online storage system, so that, after I write, I merely hit a button, and my work on the device I'm using synchronizes with the backup location, so that both places always have the same data. I also use the email method, which is preferable for me.

"The Oasis of My Nation" is Simone Youngblood's debut collection of ten poems, released in September 2008.
The work meditates on words, their unapparent immediacies and the relationship of both to god. Fundamentally, it might be called an "experimental" book of prayer and thanksgiving.
The poems were mostly written from the point at which Simone recalls (mis)acquiring language to 2008.
Based on responses Simone has received from patient people who have read "The Oasis of My Nation," I urge you to close your eyes and put on your reading glasses before embarking.
Simone is a poet born and raised in Northern California. She recently received her Masters in English/Creative Writing.
The book is $4 in person / $6 shipped / $6.50 purchased/shipped through Paypal
