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 hate the term "technical writing." I always use the term "professional
writing," not because it really matters to me, but because people hear the
term "technical writing" and they think it's all about:
Put screw (1) into hole (2).
Place bracket (12) over holes (2) and tighten screw (2 and 3)
When it's much more creative than that.
