My First Experience Of Writing On Medium
As a retiree from employment in Government service, I have experience of only drafting notes in files, drafting memoranda, office orders, circulars, notices, letters, speaking orders, and preparing their fair copies, and filing complaints against owners of business establishments and factories for prosecuting them in criminal courts for violating the provisions of the Indian labor laws.
I didn't know the craft of article writing.
My two crucial obstacles to article writing are (1) English as my second language and (2) my educational status as a total non-techie. I am a college graduate with English literature, psychology, and Kannada, my mother tongue as my three academic study subjects.
However, I have now learned the minimum elements of internet technology with dedication.
With this preparation, to spend my retired lifetime creatively, I thought of writing articles about the niche of the rational and humanist approach to life and intellectual self-improvement which I am passionate about.
It appeared difficult to write about this unfamiliar niche on a well-known public platform, Medium. After exercising a long and focussed reflection on my niche and procrastination, I gained the self-confidence to write about it.
