Some people that some people think there is the "Holy Grail" of technical
writing. 99% of this process is:
1) Get some stuff on paper
2) Get someone to read it and believe it is better than they could have
done.
3) Apply some styles. fonts, and hyperlinks
4) Get it out the door
5) Get more stuff.
6) Repeat from step one until they don't need you anymore or you run out of
stuff.
Dd I miss anything?
