Hello everybody!

What I have learned from the challenge

The previous promo-mentors challenge has impressed me! I never thought it would gain the traction it had. With __80 entries__ , I had a lot of curating to do, but the posts I read made it worth it! I started the previous challenge when I heard new members saying in our discord group that they couldn't come up with a subject for their post. I myself had this problem when I started out. And I notice the first subjects we tend to choose, we try to mimic articles we have seen on the internet. Most of the time these article misses the personal touch of the author, which makes it boring for the reader. In my opinion, we can make our articles more enjoyable to read when we insert a bit of our character in the writing, no matter what subject. When people are asked to write something about themselves, I guess this gets easier. With this challenge I hope to make it easier for the people to find their personal voice in their writing :)
