Whoops! In my previous message to the list, I inadvertently
forgot to include this bullet point:
* Drafting, structuring, or developing content
The complete poll is this:
What is your favorite part about being a technical
writer?
* Planning (e.g., initial research, estimating)
* Interviewing and working with SMEs
* Working with others on the docs team
* Experimenting with the product you are documenting
* Drafting, structuring, or developing content
* Editing or massaging content provided by others
* Doing DTP, illustrations, or page design
* Using new software (e.g., for Web page design)
* Navigating corporate political issues
* Other/none of the above
(And, for those of you who answer "Other/none of the above,"
what IS your favorite part of being a technical writer?)
