Cebu Writers' Guild | Educational Second Session

It has been said that more sessions will come for the Cebu Writers' Guild. More Lessons and plans for each individual steemian and for the community. More bonding and more love!

---

Yesterday, the second session was held at @liamnov's place. We all met at Ayala Cebu first. I came very late and thought that they left me already. I was embarrassed but I promised myself to be early for next meetups and sessions. We walked for 20 mins before we had arrived. We thanked her for her politeness and consideration. Though we didn't have to find a place perhaps a cafe to have our second session.

When we entered, we were all surprised of the efforts @liamnov had done. She made something for us to have a warm welcome and a memorable session. We felt very comfortable and felt like we were at home. Thus, we have started our first topic very smooth.

The session started with @morken teaching us the basics in Steemit through presenting PowerPoint. The presentation was about all the things a newbie or a non-steemian to know. The purpose of informing us the basics of Steemit was for us to know how to approach non-steemians or newbies if ever they were interested to join Steemit. Also if ever we want to promote steemit. Tips and ideas are also shared. It was a very interesting topic though there are some things that I didn't knew yet. Now I have an idea if ever I can have an opportunity to promote Steemit to my classmates, our school and perhaps my family.

The Different Writing Styles

The second speaker was @ybanezkim26. First, he introduced himself to us and shared some wonderful stories from his steemit life. He said that he was meant to be in the steemit to help the community. He also explained first what are the purpose on knowing these different writing styles.

---

Before proceeding to the different writing styles, @ybanezkim26 asked some questions first. In order for us to be ready and to share personal answers. Since it is an open discussion, we were given enough time to share our answers individually.
