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.
Two of my favorites are probably known by everyone:
"What is written without effort is in
general read without pleasure."
Samual Johnson quoted in Burbeck Hill's
_Johnsonian Miscellanies_(1897)
"You don't write because you want to say something;
you write because you've got something to say."
F. Scott Fitzgerald "The Note-Books," _The Crack -Up (1945)
Perhaps I'll find some good, obscure quotes to share, too.
