Article on 'Getting Started as a Technical Writer'

[Cardimon, Craig]

Fair warning: this awakened my inner critic.

With the obvious exception of the title, this article has nothing to do
with
technical writing. 

It does have some marginally useful--if fairly common sense--suggestions
on
how to break into freelance magazine writing, if you can separate them
from
the syrupy Stuart Smalley-esque prose (You're good enough, you're smart
enough, and gosh darn it, you can write!). This is the type of advice
that
creates awkward moments where I have to gracefully decline to read the
book
that the stylist at Great Clips has written. (True story. Now I lie to
all
hairdressers about what I do for a living.) 

And did you catch the slogan? 

"Don't Fumble For Words Alone!" What should I fumble for in addition to
words?

True, but it is hard enough to find article on this subject anyway.
