TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. 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.
And I don't look to outside indicators to see if I am doing a good job. I
look to my work. I know if I am doing a good job. If you live for the
opinion of others and can't generate it for yourself, this is probably not
for you.
And everyone I know in permanent jobs works as many hours as I do. But I get
paid for every one of them! Whoo-eee!
