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.
When I was attending college in my early thirties, I took a job as a data
entry operator (we had an 8086 with two Bernoulli boxes!). When I was ready
to graduate, my boss asked me to leave some instructions on how to use the
database. This became my first user's manual.
After 11 years of teaching, I realized that my 19-year-old high-tech son was
making twice what I did. I had continued to free-lance user's manuals for
small firms over the years, so decided to do this full-time. Thus, I became
a "technical writer" sometime between the ages of thirty two and forty six,
but couldn't tell you exactly when!
