Today is Beethoven's baptism day, which means yesterday might have been his birthday, so I'm going to recreate the Beethoven birthday thread here

Feel free to mute this post if you don't care to see it all again

For the rest of us, let's celebrate my favorite musical weirdo

Let it be pointless. It may ultimately one day serve a purpose, but it doesn't right now and no one will ever care and that's fine. This is how you start writing.

So fascinating. I wrote about my own experience with this in “The Beginning of Everything,” my memoir about experiencing a spontaneous spinal CSF leak and the neurological issues that followed. The music work I did during my recovery helped my brain more than anything else (other than sleep!).

It was a pleasure to talk books, writing, music, and more with Stephen Sacco for his podcast “The Plague Remedy.” Listen to the conversation here! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

My favourite fact about Iceland is that we have many, many crime writers but only one forensic pathologist, and he was so busy answering all of their questions that he decided to have a small seminar for writers to get some peace.

It immediately sold out so he had another one that also sold out.
