Hello, Mr. Gaiman! I hope you’re doing well. I’m curious, how many words would you say you write on a good/average/bad day? […] it’s hard not to feel like it’s a complete waste of time […] do you have any advice?
[…]
Stephen King has written more books than anyone I know. He writes 1500 words a day. That’s what he does. Then he does other things.
If you write 300 words a day you will have written a 365 page novel in a year.
Just write.

Best GUI music tag editor I ever used was the windows based #TagAndRename.
I found #PuddleTag today. Closest thing I’ve found on #Linux that matches the features #TagAndRename gave me. Managing my music files has gotten fun and easy again.

Got it working, thanks to Anki’s excellent documentation and scavenging and adapting old nginx / systemd scripts
Tested with a large-ish deck. Works beautifully.
Now to start uploading *ALL THE DECKS!*
Thank you #Anki!

The afternoon has settled long and heavy on my shoulders
The winter’s light feels different on my skin
[…]
Distill a whole year down into a day
Act like we all start over with a pristine slate
But to get yourself a new life,
you’ve got to give the other one away
And I’m starting to believe,
in the power of a name
Cause it can’t be a mistake,
if I just call it change
