Gang,
OF COURSE I am not advocating claiming work I did not do as a sample of my
own work! Andrew's point (unless I misunderstood him), to which I was
responding, was that anything other than completely new work written from
scratch was not writing.
My point was that a technical writer does compose material from scratch,
and also edits, rewrites, corrects, restructures, and indexes (and a
million other things).
Sheesh!
