Put it in writing

Recently I found a few interesting APPs and started writing on WeChat and JianShu even Zine, it's such a wonderful experience.

I met some cool 90s and they shared very useful tools and websites, some even I never heard but truly impress me a lot.

It make me feel, what I knew just piece of cake. They are experts for these APPs and wrote many article to introduce tools in order to help new players.

One of guy said to me "keep writing is a good way to learn, we created and offered these online classes for free to our fans because we believed TEACH is also a best way to learn".

His words reminds me of an article from Starbucks CMO Emily Chang, it's about why writing is important and how can we do it better, which I fully support her opinion.

Here strongly recommend it to our new writers!
