At it again eh Tony. You seemed to be obsessed in trying to convince the world that TW isn't writing all all. If that is the case, then maybe you need to look at moving to another career field and letting those of us who understand all aspects of TW get on with our jobs.

Recommended Tech Writer Books?

Hint: In the main, TW is really not about writing.
Indeed, some popular Tech Writer writing skills really
don't exist - they are but marketing sound bites. If
you doubt me on this, just try and nail down the
specific, concrete steps involved in Structured
Writing (minor structured formatting guidelines
aside). And many a TW has told me that this
mysterious Structured Writing is THE most important
skill in Tech Writing.
