Looking for training

[Kirby_Sarah <Kirby_Sarah -at- bls -dot- gov>]

Hi All, 

I work in the DC area as my group's only documentation specialist. I've been
working in the technical field for 8 years (four of which as a techie in
college).  I have a degree in German Language.  I landed in the technical
writing field because I was tired of working on the help desk and I like
being a word smith.  I have decent writing skills, but I feel like I don't
know enough about the technical skills of writing documentation.  Most of
what I know is self taught and instict (which seems to be pretty good most
of the time.)  I feel like I'm reaching the end of my ingenuity and want to
hook up with someone who really knows how to write technical documentation.
Does anyone know where I could find some quality training that will help me
get up to speed?  Most of what I do is writing End User and Server
Adminastration documentation with some email forms and Newsletter articles.
Thanks.
