The mere fact that I had ample time on my hands to write and publish articles, gave me plenty of room for improvement and development. I had around 15 days to write a good article which had to include relevant pictures and GIFs. This reminds me of the day when they published my first article on their website. Amidst the numerous other articles, I was fortunate to have got appreciated for my work with a comment from a random reader. It said, “Really interesting article, very well written and explained”. This positive comment made my day, especially because not many of the other articles had comments from readers.
