Back up everything you do, somewhere you trust, and not on your PC alone; an external drive you own is ok initially.
It is also worth while to consider a journal to record your comments related to each image that you finalise, with the details you would want to share with any viewers later on; it is also useful for tracking your own progress on this journey.

Thanks for that, Glen! My filing is really bad, perhaps I'll do some tidying up over the coming nights. I do have a journal that i use for visual, but i reckon you're right, wouldbe good to have a record of what worked and what didnt each night
