“These days, writing is a team effort. The traditional image of a writer is of a rather solitary figure, but the reality is that technical writing is now often a highly collaborative process.

That’s fine – you’re writing a technical document, not a novel!”
― Kieran Morgan, Technical Writing Process: The simple, five-step guide that anyone can use to create technical documents such as user guides, manuals, and procedures

“A wise person once said that it’s easier to build strong children than it is to repair broken men.”

“Do you have a favorite book?
