Re: Post about a creative writer who went into tech writing for a spell

[Lin Sims <ljsims -dot- ml -at- gmail -dot- com>]

I didn't even know there was such a thing as tech writing until my final
year in college. I was working on an English degree, and the university
offered it in two "concentrations", one in literature and one in writing.
There were a variety of writing classes, but only one in technical writing.
Once I found out about it, I never looked back. I was _born_ to be a tech
writer.
