Wazzup Pilipinas!

Being a writer in today`s day and age is an amazing thing. The writing was revolutionized by advances in technology. Just think, some thirty or so years ago if you wanted to write in your favorite coffee shop. You technically could, but the sound of your typewriter would probably drive everyone nuts and they would collectively kick you out! Then you had an annoying task of carrying the same heavy typewriter home, together with all your papers and notes! All your research had to be done in a library where you had to wear actual clothes instead of doing research in your pajamas at home.
