Journalist JA Westenberg has posted an entire book on #Medium: “Permissionless”.

From the author, @Daojoan:

WHY I WROTE PERMISSIONLESS
We live in a world where progress is often throttled by those who control the gates. This book shines a light on those gates and shows how they can be bypassed. It's not breaking the rules for the sake of it—it's getting to work and making change happen.

There’s something to be said for allowing a little mystery in your writing. What can you imply but leave unsaid? Bring a little poetry to your analytical take. Make room for the shadows and the things that abide there. As we get more advanced in our craft, we discover that what we leave out, is just as important as what we put in.
