- This is what most of us have gone throught our entire careers. I have
- been a tech writer for over 36 years and what you experience is typical
- many times.
-
- Sometimes, we are consulted by others and are considered an integral part
- of the team, but usually we come in at the last and have to meet unrealistic
- deadlines. All we can do is try to do our best and hope that next time
- we get called in sooner.
-
- As one poster mentioned, go the one of the conferences and meet some
- of the others. You will find many of us that have been there before.
- Hope to see you in Dallas at the STC Annual Conference.
