Every year around this time, we get warnings about computer viruses. This year was no different. Although I already have anti-virus software installed on my PC, I still worried. What to do? I backed up my files, just in case. I've worked too hard on developing the characters in my stories, working on setting, plot, character emotion, etc., to lose it all. It just makes sense to backup your files on a regular basis not just when there are computer virus warnings. Happy Writing!

The kites in the picture were created by students of Jose Escandon Elementary, Mission, Texas, during one of my school visits. My book, Lupita's Papalote, is about a little girl and her magic kite.
