RE: Technical writing and Other kinds of writing

Sure.  I'm a writer.  I put words in a row.  (If that's glorified typing,
I'll take my glory now, please.)  So around here I do sales and marketing
crap every now and then, when I can't get my boss to save me from the Sales
Manager.  It's not my strong point, but I know how to do it.  My real job is
documenting our software, a large multi-moduled and ever-expanding
maintenance management application. So you know, a nice fat user manual,
online help, the usual stuff in that arena.   

I'm also working on my second novel. I write and have even published a bit
of poetry, and I manage part of a writers' area on AOL where I also teach
from time to time.  

No big deal.  It's just what I do <shrug>.  Just out of curiosity, why do
you ask?

Cheers!
