About Me
I guess I would technically be described as a "seasoned" Technical Writer, but I prefer proactive, collaborative, and resilient. I also consider myself a Project Manager (coordinating all those documentation projects), Editor (I learned to be great editor at Thomson Reuters and have always edited my own work), Interpreter (I have to get in the heads of programmers and engineers and translate those technical processes from their brain into layman's terms), Document Specialist (you don't want to look at a boring white page), Product Expert (I have to be to write about it), and UI Experience User/Tester (if I'm going through a product to learn it to write about it, I'm going to uncover things others may miss). And you thought Technical Writers just wrote all day.
The guy who knows about computers is the last person you want to have creating documentation for people who don't understand computers.
Lack of documentation is becoming a problem for acceptance.
A writer, I think, is someone that pays attention to the world.
