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 am confused. I entered the field because of many of the aspects mentioned
as something other than technical writing. And I wonder, how can you be a
technical writer without being interested in usability? Or technology? Or
how people learn? Or in translating stakeholders requirements into what
they really want and need? I like the complexity of it all - and I like the
challenge of using the resources at hand to deliver the best possible
solutions.
