A well-defined [Tech Writer] process might involve
contextual inquiry, storyboarding, relationship diagrams, and other
tools to build a model from which to document. A more common process
might involve extreme amounts of caffiene and sugar while flogging the

Richard Lewis responds:

Those are both examples of specific behaviors that would help the gentleman who orginally asked for a definition of a techical writer. Both would enable him to screen candiates.

I have never heard that the chicken has to be rubber.
