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.
"I had to reread paragraphs and sentences multiple times, in
order to cut through thickets of verbage to get to *the core
information, which, oftentimes, was sadly lacking.*" [emphasis
mine]
Good, clear writing reveals information -- or the fact that
information is missing.
Poor writing conceals information -- or obscures the fact that
information is missing.
When you can tell that information is missing, you have the
chance to find that information in another way: There's a
problem, but you know to correct it. You're really in trouble if
you don't even know there's a problem.
