RE: Alone from the start (was: Documentation planning)

[Kelly Werner <kwerner -at- eaglesoft -dot- net>]

Milan Davidovic asked, "Has anyone on this list been the lone writer on
their *very first* job (i.e. working in-house) or project?
If you had to do it again, would you still plunge in
or would you wait for a gig that put you in the
company of other more experienced writers?

I am currently a lone tech writer on my *very first* job as such.  I must
concede that, as daunted as I was at the on-set, it's been the best way to
go. Why?  Because now I know that I'm cut out for this line of work.  I do
recommend finding a mentor.  Even the most resourceful need a little
hand-holding from time to time.
