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.

>When I try (to write a story), I have this tendecy to fall into a rut of producing bulleted
>lists and procedures, for example:
>John woke up in the morning, the first thing he did was:
>1. Yawn
>2. He stretched his hands up over his head and looked towards the
>window. The sun was shining in his face.
>3. He stood up, went over to the window and closed the shutters.
>For further information, refer to chapter two, where John has breakfast.
