Erika,

They did keep the other writer in this case. They said financial, sales have been slow, and blamed the election. This is the other writer's first job and she's local where I drove 40 miles one way.

Trust me, there are many writers out there that have been laid off more than twice in a row. Layoffs happen. Technical writers tend to know that better than most. I'd bet some of the most trusted voices on that list have that number beat by a mile. A layoff is usually not taken as a reflection on you, it's a company decision and for whatever reason, your position was eliminated.
If the [only] position was eliminated, it's easy to explain, but if you were laid off while other writers stayed on, there will always be a question about why you.
