Persephone:
Another writing tool that my writing partner turned me on to by google.
www.mywritingnook.com IT's free and saves your work to an online server you can access from any PC.
They also have an iphone app. IT may not be the most SECURE thing, if you're worried about copywright or privacy, but at least it puts it somewhere that A) you can access from any computer if you aren't near your usual harddrive. and 2) you can use it as a backup server then should lightning or virus strike you won't lose your work.
Starbeam... I have the same problem. I've been working on my major fiction for almost two years now, and between my toddler, keeping the house running, and the times I just lose all creative desire. It is SO hard to keep up on it.
Honestly my biggest fear isn't that I won't get it done, it's that I'll get my first book published, and never be able to finish the rest of the series.
