RE: Wearers of multiple hats (Was: Compare and Contrast Doc Group...)

["Ronquillo, Michael" <mronquillo -at- equitrac -dot- com>]

I've worked in teams before and it ended up being a situation where too
many people's hands were in the pot, resulting in "I think this should
be this, that". 

I am now a lone writer and could not be any happier. I'm learning so
much and this is propelling me faster into a senior or management role.
It's good to be King!

Group...)


 Melissa,

You're not alone in your lone-writer-ness. ;) I've found even when I was
in some kind of documentation group, I still pretty much ran my own
show. And I'm not complaining either!

I do wonder, though, what techniques might permit a soloist to function
more like an orchestra--without all the cacophony!

;)

World-ClassDoc Group Look Like?










Aww, an actual doc group...that must be nice! I am the doc group...so I
guess in 
my case, it looks like the chick in the mirror!
 
This is my third TW gig, and I have only had one job where I was not the
only 
tech writer; it was my first and I was the Jr. writer. Sometimes, I do
miss 
having someone else to bounce things off of...which is why I really
enjoy this 
list.
