😢 It’s all gone! A writers nightmare. In 1922, Ernest Hemingway met a journalist and editor named Lincoln Steffens in Geneva, Switzerland. They connected while on assignment. Ernest was covering the Lausanne Peace Conference for his employer “The Toronto Star”. He worked for them from 1920-1924.
Scrivener saves through Dropbox. I type everything there then post. If I make changes to the final work, I post it back to Scrivener. If anything happens, I still have all my published work.
Paul ... great tips and story (although now I have to go look up what happened to the marriage after that ;-)) would you be up for sending me an email. I have a question. jwycoff@me.com
I recently subscribed to my own newsletter with Gmail and I hadn't actually thought about using that for an archive....so thanks! I used to use the Wayback Machine (web.archive.org) to look at old web pages, but it's nice to have another option that searches AND saves! Hope you're sharing all this great info on reddit, too....and the Facebook Substack group!
Wow, that paywall tip might come in handy. I need access sometimes to a publication for research and can't just subscribe to everything. And I just tried it on the Wall Street Journal. It didn't work on the most recent paper but it did for back issues. This will definitely be worth testing further!
Hey there. I just shared your post in the Substack Writers group on reddit. I thought others might be able to use your tips. Hope you don't mind (I also swiped your image and added it there.....ask forgiveness, not permission?)
This is excellent. All of my Substack newsletters go to my Gmail account (I subscribe to my own newsletter, in other words) but this still gave me things to think about.

Thank you, Paul. Very useful 🙂
I always write in Word then copy my article on to Substack or Medium. Good tip on the Archive.today - thanks
