TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I wanted to post this on Friday, but didn't have a chance to. I know
this is not a technical issue, but I'd prefer opinions from fellow tech
writers, so I hope nobody minds me posting this here.
I was wondering how you feel about, and perhaps cope with arrogance. I
know arrogance itself is generally not considered a good thing, I don't
consider myself arrogant either (just a bit cocky perhaps ;)), it's just
that I recognize it sometimes.
Do you ever write something down and immediately think it is good, great
even? So good that it doesn't even matter if anyone else will ever read
it? Just having it written, the choice of words, as if it were meant to
be written by you? As if nobody could have done it better even though
you do realize there is always a better writer somewhere?
