A couple of points on the liberal arts/technical backgrouund
debate:

1) If you have a liberal arts background and it takes you 1,000
words to defend yourself as a technical writer, you should stick
to writing novels.

2) If you have a technical background and it bothers you that
someone with a liberal arts background is a technical writer,
then you have a serious handicap as a writer. You have a
closed mind.

Getting a job done is what counts.
