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.
Don't forget the other end--how many of us have egos that depend on
having SOMEONE read what we wrote? That doesn't sound like introvert
behavior to me.
I used to think writing was an introvert's profession until I went to a
workshop taught by a successful published writer, whose point was that
only the writing part was solitary, everything else depended on
interacting with other people. (And he was a fiction/fantasy writer!) We
get our material from external sources, and we publish it to an
audience. It opened my eyes.

I think that the only reason this is so is because writing is generally
perceived as a solitary activity. As such, it would attract a large
number of introverts. The reality of this job, however, is that we have
to take input from a lot of external sources, and that is the forte of
the extrovert.
