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.
You're on the right track...having been unemployed a few times I can say
that it is a very good thing to "act as if" -- in other words spend as
much time as possible doing what you'd be doing as if you were getting
paid for it. I don't mean to sound like a Tony Robbins ad, but your
thoughts and actions do play some part in creating your reality.
If you are employed I would check with your HR department to see if there
are any technology-related training CDs you can check out and use. If
there are any tech writing tasks you do for them, volunteer for those. If
a friend or relative has a business, offer to do some web site work for
them so you can add to your expertise and collection of work samples.
