Introduction
Do you remember those mornings when you wake up 1 hour past the time you set your alarm? The dopamine that flows through your head, the rushing and gushing to put so many things together next to a second. Suspending to brush your teeth then wanting to appear at work like a pro and unfortunately having woken up on the wrong side of the bed, your hair looks unkept, your face pale and _**a dry mucus peeping through your nose**_

This is just how I wanted to have my writeups sound more authentic but they just had no weight. Then I learned that the best things always take time. From just being a poet, I discovered something more, technical writing was more than just typing. It was more like being a CIA, looking at the crime scene from different angles. While the petal fell off the flower, my discovery revealed the hot coal, that this giant called technical writing was more than just the flow, rhyme and rhythm, sounding symbolic.

How my Virginity was lost
Snooping and snoozing I was via my Twitter, dumpster diving in my feed for any crunch of bread my hands could get on. It was at the bottom of the bin when I stumbled on the most sensational text from the long-time legend and master player @Oluwatobiloba Olaide in this field of Technical writing. The master technical writer declared that she had 10 slots for newbies in technical writing for 3 full weeks.
