For digital writers and designers, I feel like their jobs are about ensuring everyone can access and use the content they create. While they want the content to sound good and engage people, none of that matters if everyone can't access it. According to Horton and Quesenbery in A Web for Everyone, "When websites and applications are badly designed, they create barriers that exclude people from using the web as it was intended." They explain that accessibility is about designing in a way that gets rid of barriers for everyone else. They also make the argument that "disability is a conflict between someone's functional capability and the world we have constructed." In my opinion, this means that poor designs are usually what makes content inaccessible, so it's not always the designer's fault.

Back in 2007, when I started writing, I could write a copy in just 15 minute, but when I read it back it was pure shit. After even correcting few typos here and there, it still wasn't something I was proud of.

The difference between a great copy and my copy was huge. For a brief period of time, I believed I had a problem, I was dyslexic. It made me feel better, because being dyslexic meant, I was in a good company of people like Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison and Mohammad Ali. But then I took a test and found out that I am as normal as everyone else, I am like you. And the reason I write shit articles is because I am lazy, I am not writing as much I should.

I decided to keep writing, and I kept writing, on and on and on. I also kept reading. I understood that writing great copies doesn't take 15 minutes, it takes a lot of time sometimes the whole day. A writer has to put enormous amount of time into thoughts to put together a great piece.

In 2014, I take time to write, sometimes I just leave it alone for few days and work on 2,3 drafts before getting the final copy. I am still not writing great articles but I am proud of what I create, because I give importance to it.

My content may not please the fans of all the big writers but it helps common people gain the best knowledge they can on a particular topic.
