How many words should be saved can be seen from the following aspects:
1. Fiction: For novels, it is generally recommended to save at least 2,-3, words. This is because novels usually need long preparation and plot development, and too few manuscripts may lead to weak successors or plot jumps. For short stories, the amount of manuscripts can be relatively reduced, but generally it should be around 1 thousand words to ensure the integrity and coherence of the story.
2. Prose: Prose works usually don't need a lot of manuscripts, because their length is short and the plot is relatively simple. Generally speaking, the amount of manuscripts saved is about 5-1 words.
3. Poetry: Poetry is a highly concise art form, which requires the author to have a deep literary foundation and inspiration. Therefore, for poetry works, the amount of manuscripts can be less, generally speaking, about 2-5 words can be enough.
4. Documentary literature: Documentary literature works require in-depth investigation and interviews by the author, so the amount of manuscripts saved is relatively large, generally around 1,-2, words.
5. online literature: generally, online literature works need to be updated by authors at any time to maintain their attractiveness, so the amount of manuscripts can be adjusted according to personal habits and readers' feedback. However, it is generally recommended to store at least 5-1 words in case of possible network disconnection or other emergencies.
mode of saving manuscripts:
1. Notebook: Write handwritten or printed manuscripts directly in a notebook and record them in order of chapters or story lines. This method can record inspiration and ideas anytime and anywhere, but it needs to be sorted and classified manually.
2. computer documents: computer documents are used to save drafts, which can be easily modified, copied and pasted.

However, it is necessary to ensure the stability and security of the computer and avoid the loss or damage of files.
3. Cloud storage: Save manuscripts through cloud storage platforms (such as Baidu Cloud and Tencent weiyun), which can be accessed and modified anytime and anywhere.
