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 know, this isn't a complaint I'm supposed to have... But I'm bored out of
my mind. As those of you who read my earlier "Missing You" message may
know, I am not in the tech industry. I'm working full time and making a
good living but not in my chosen field. I'm taking classes online and
trying to stay up-to-date. But that still leaves me longing for technology
and that whole dynamic. I just wanna keep my fingers (or would it be toes
-- oh well, metaphor aside) in the tech writing world. I'm tied to my desk
so I can't GO do volunteer work. Here's a thought, send me your projects!
You don't have to pay me. I'll edit, review, write, design web pages.
No? Well, it was worth a shot. Any other suggestions? I can't get paid
for it because that would be against company policy (using their machines
for my own business). I'm losing my mind. I know I could write for the
local newspaper or the ASPCA or whatever, but that's not technology. I
never saw any kind of summary on how to break into the Open Source tech
writing. I know there was a huge debate about the reasons why anyone would
do Open Source at all. But as for the "how to break into" discussion, what
became of that?
(Oh, there were a lot more As, Rs, Gs, and Hs in the Subject line but I
didn't want to upset Eric. Hope these are sufficient to express my
frustration level.)
