Writing

Writing is an underrated skill, and any intellectual worker is required to write. Part of it is writing to think, to help evaluate and express the ideas (and yes, this includes drawing, diagramming, mapping…). The other, is to share those ideas.

I’ve been interested in writing for a long time and keep finding people with interest and need on improving and understanding how to write and how to think about writing. Here I’ll collect and classify those resources I’ve found over time that will help anyone learn to understand this craft.
