1. Writebox

    Writebox I like to dump small text files in my Dropbox account as a commonplace book. A bit of a first world problem: while there is already a massive ecosystem of apps and programs for this task, I just feel better if there is an even more universal tool so I can truly access all my notes ANYWHERE. This is where Writebox comes in: it seems to pretty much work on any browser that support HTML5. It's hosted off the Google Apps Engine. The original author seems to only post in Japanese, so I cannot find out anymore about this "program" except for the fact that it works great. If you're Dropbox obsessed like me, you will love WriteBox.

  2. excellent readd by @jackcheng "The Keyframe Bias" on #writing and #Gatsby

    I think that’s why merely reading a lot won’t make you a great writer, just like listening to a lot of music won’t suddenly make you a piano virtuoso, because reading emphasizes the drawbridge words. On the flip side, writing a lot without reading much leaves you all backwind and no drawbridge, trying to get from point A to point B without stopping to admire the view. It’s only by doing both reading and writing that you start to understand how to string the different words together.
