How I Write - Michael Mandaville - Versioning

One of the most liberating techniques I have used is called ‘versioning’. This rather free wheeling tendency to create a new version which provides me with the safety and security of a backup (the last version) while giving me the mindset to go creatively wherever I want with the material. In that way, I can invoke a greater daring and boldness and creative spontaneity. I have rarely gone backwards to the material. So this “Versioning” Technique is a key element toward my creative momentum.
