The response I get when I tell people my
plan isn`t very
encouraging. The words 'boring' and 'dull' feature
heavily in their
response, so what I really want to know is 'is
technical writing boring??'.

The only time I have been bored as a technical writer is when I took a job writing release notes for a wireless company. Their programmers were extremely "challenged"; one week, each release was found to be so buggy that it was recalled and a new set of release notes were required.

After three months, I found a new job. Now, I don't have time to be bored!
