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.
Also, there's a professional association -- http://www.amwa.org --
that might be worth the investment to join.

Books, areas of study, research resources, and whatever you feel would be beneficial to know would be greatly appreciated. I am familiar with software documentation, writing procedures, and the typical areas of technical documentation involving business and software applications. I am a total newbie in writing for the health professions. In the part of the country I am in, it seems as if the health-related industries are booming, and everything else is seriously declining. Software developers--usually a great source of contract work--are going out of business at an alarming rate. Any information, advice, or recommendations will be sincerely appreciated.
