SAVE SAVE SAVE!!
Ok, now this is a fact that you should've followed since you were given a computer at a young age-SAVE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT. This is especially true if you are a writer, after all no one wants to spend 2 hours writing a really nice review and critique of their favorite reviewer's newest review only to see it gone in a flash because you didn't save the information at a critical point.
This is why I prefer to use Google docs so often. It automatically saves all of my data so I don't have to worry about hitting that save button again and again to make sure I am safe. That, and that allows me to come back to the work from anywhere else and continue.
But, I know that sometimes, your computer does bad things: Virus, malware, trojans, hard drive crashes, overheating, and so much more. And then you have to reset the computer and get it back into operation but you lose the data in the process. What to do?
The easy answer would be to get a flash drive, but sometimes those are expensive.
Another thing you can do is use things like
File sharing sites
Where you can use a password and login creditentals to keep your info safe and access it from anywhere else you might need in order to fix your work

Has a few ideas. Jut remember, keeping your info is very important for your continued work as a writer

Reviews-how to get and how to deal
See this? This is a group that I frequent that reviews work on a certain site. This group is dedicated to reviewing your work in a fair and nonbaised manner and that is what I want to write about. Reviews.
Look, just admit to yourself at the outset, your first work will never be truly fantastic or even good. Heck, it might even be horrible, but do not dispair. The internet is there to help you, really, it is. No, wait, come back and I'll tell you why.
See you will always get two type of readers to your story: A) a troll who will just rip your story/article/essay/ a new one just to get a rise out of ya or B) actual people who are nice enough to say "I don't like it because of-reasons". Reviewers of B are the ones you want, because they will usually leave helpful critism and small advice to help build you up from being medocre. Now, how to get those reviews on the net and not trolls.
FIRST! Go online to vairious forums and sites and ask around. You should be able to get a few here and there.
Second! ask someone who is not your family (no, seriously, no family. They are the worst type of reviewer because they will be biased. The closer you are, the more bias they have and will usually go into "ITs great!" Without telling you why) and have them review.
Then, after that, what should you do when they destroy it? Relax, go over what they don't like and fix it. Remember, you are in charge, so don't quit!
