Have you ever used a typewriter?
Yes. It's a lot harder to use than I thought. I'm not used to having to exert force to press the keys, but it was certainly a fun experience.

It makes everything more accessible yet more confusing at the same time.

Clear and concise.

A decent laptop and a great keyboard. For software, Notion, Grammarly, Google Docs, and Photoshop.
What's your favorite social network?
Is YouTube a social network? If yes, then that's what I like. If not, then none of them. I'm not active nor plan to be active on Social Media.
Why did you become a journalist?
It's not a conscious decision on my part. Sometimes during 2020, I just found myself making a living as a writer.

Warm chocolate on a rainy night.
