Re: Question from a re-virginized newbie

Hi Mike,
I would jump back a bit from all the detailed study and find out what you
enjoyed the most about technical writing. Your 8 years of content
development and production experience is still more valid than any tools,
tricks, and techniques you can learn--unless you're like me, who's a tools
and techniques-trick pony who prefers systems and coding for reuse over
actual documentation writing.

Then, pick a couple of tools that work and migrate with them.
