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.
Coming out of lurkdom to voice my consent with this thread. In a lot of my
creative writing (poetry and fiction), I'll let things percolate for a while
until they're ready to bubble over and onto the page. In my professional
writing, that's usually not much of an option.
