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.
This appears on page 3 of the new book "The Elements of Technical
Writing," by Blake and Bly:
"Newspaper reporters and technical writers are trained to reveal almost
nothing about themselves in their writing. This makes them freaks in
the world of writers, since almost all of the other ink-stained
wretches in that world reveal a lot about themselves to the reader."
--Kurt Vonnegut
(he was once a "technical publicist" for G.E.)
