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.
Judging by results so far, at least 2/3rds of us *do* write outside our
regular job.
Follow-up question: if you do, do you tell your employers that you do? (I
mention it on my CV as one of my "hobbies", but go into as little detail as
possible, after an interview years ago in which the interviewer concluded
that I wouldn't be sufficiently dedicated to my day job, so to speak.)
-----Original Message-----
* Yes, creative writing (poetry, fiction, etc.)
* Yes, professional writing (tech., articles, etc.)
* Yes, both creative and professional writing
* No, neither creative nor professional writing
* Other/none of the above
