- Read the books you have -- as I said, they're a good start.
- Read lots of samples of the sorts of material you expect to be
creating (manuals, quick reference guides, etc.) -- compare them to
what the books tell you, and think about any differences you find.
- Discuss what you've read in the books and what you've seen in the
samples with other people.
- Practice what the books tell you about planning, gathering
information, writing, etc.
- Get feedback on what you produce.
