Really appreciated! One thing it made me think about, something I noticed about myself and my writing recently: I start writing so many essays that I don’t finish. This used to feel like a big defeat, because I was assuming that everything I begin to write I should complete into a polished essay. But more recently I was thinking about how artists probably sketch and paint a lot of stuff they throw away and never finish and how that’s probably a good practice, and this made me feel better about not finishing all the things I started. But I don’t know if I have ever really shaken the feeling that not finishing a novel I’m reading is some kind of failure….
Oh man how have I missed Daylight? This is literally what I’ve been looking for for years. But I’m wondering why you have difficulty taking notes on it? Seems compatible with Zotero and Instapaper, no?
My big triumph was when I deleted my twitter account and replaced morning scrolling and coffee with reading and coffee. Now I’m back on twitter, with half as many followers as I used to have.

Keep on writing Victor. I love everythinng you've written on your Substack, even when I disagree!
Likewise!
I want to echo this sentiment.
Lots of good recommendations in here. What is the dictation software you use?
OtterAI for now

Handwriting atrophied :(
