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 is how it is in my company, and I too am Lone Tech Writer. The
software developers write the design/functional specs, which I use as
the foundation for user documentation. I agree that we have too many
other issues to deal with without also having to deal with the nuts and
bolts within engineering.
