Not only does it help to send it to yourself via email. It can also help to make sure that it is isn't an email account that you use often. That way it doesn't get lost in the flood of junk mail. <br /><br />I have started to share my work with trusted friends on Google docs. I do not recommend others do that but sharing it (even if they are just sharing it to another on their accounts) tends to make it easier to find.
