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.
Michele recounted a phone call from someone who asked a lot of annoying
questions, including:
> She asked, "What kind of writing do you do and what kind of
> samples could you send me?"
I guess I don't see why the annoyance. If someone's taking an interest
in your work (even an uninformed, clueless interest), it's a good idea
to be kind and patient with them. That goes double if they appear to
have work for you.
