Here’s some of the BIG questions going round in my head right now:
I don’t have any answers right now. But I do have the thought to experiment creatively and see what happens.

I tend to keep my files (documents, photos, music & video) on WD external hard drives. I don’t use cloud storage, as I dislike subscription services and their ever increasing prices. Plus, I have a lot of files, so it gets expensive and relies too much on the internet. One of the pluses of external hard drives are that they are portable, so I can physically share larger files with family/friend easily.
But there are minuses with my current system. First transfers for larger files can be slow, second that there’s always a chance of hard drive failure – particularly with external hard drives that have moving parts, like the ones I’m currently using. So I decided that it was time to upgrade to SSD (solid state drives), which boast faster transfer speeds and no moving parts. Think of them as large capacity pen drives.
I opted for two different branded 4TB models, one a Samsung T7 Shield (4TB) and the other SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD (4TB). The reason I opted for the Samsung drive is trust in the brand. The reason I opted for SanDisk was because of the colour.
It may sound odd, but different colours enable me to identify my drives more easily. I did try to get a Samsung T7 Shield in blue (in desperation I even considered beige) but both blue and beige 4TB models were out of stock everywhere.
Here’s my first impression of each model:

There are some things I’ve never even dreamed I’d do. One of those is editing someone else’s work. But a friend recently asked me to help him edit his book of eclectic poetry for publish and I found myself confidently saying yes.
The definition of editing is:
[to] prepare (written material) for publication by correcting, condensing, or otherwise modifying it.

So I guess as well as being a Writer, Author & Blogger I’m also an Editor now.
