Melissa,
You're not alone in your lone-writer-ness. ;) I've found even when I was in some kind of documentation group, I still pretty much ran my own show. And I'm not complaining either!
I do wonder, though, what techniques might permit a soloist to function more like an orchestra--without all the cacophony!
;)

Aww, an actual doc group...that must be nice! I am the doc group...so I guess in
my case, it looks like the chick in the mirror!
This is my third TW gig, and I have only had one job where I was not the only
tech writer; it was my first and I was the Jr. writer. Sometimes, I do miss
having someone else to bounce things off of...which is why I really enjoy this
list.
