Devoted to technical writing and technical writers

In-between writing gigs, it may seem hard to fire up the word processor and practice writing. The reason may be that you find yourself staring into a blank space with lines trying to figure out what to write between them.

If you don't know how to start writing, one technique would be to start with the most casual forms of publishing - the love letter. Write how your day went. Write about the crush you have on your next door neighbor. Write about your real estate broker. Write about your dog.

And to whom do you address this? To yourself. Seal it and store it, and forget about it. Not only will you have practiced your writing, but reading it one day will surely amuse you.
