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.
I've been carrying around these three quotes from the Chicago Tribune
Magazine since the early '80s when I was writing audio training for the
brand spanking new personal computers and software. Ah, those were the
days...
Anyway, for your enjoyment:
"I love being a writer. What I can't stand is the paperwork." Peter De Vries
"There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open
a vein." Red Smith
"The tools I need for my work are paper, tobacco, food, and a little
whiskey." William Faulkner
My editor red lined "little" and inserted "lot of."
