You can't be hacking those manuals all the time
While conventional technical communication
is challenging, gratifying, and a swell source of income, it's a limited
form of expression. In time, it fries the brain, diminishes sexual response
and generally turns a person into a clod. Fortunately, this can be prevented.
When the opportunity comes up, I'd encourage
any technical writer to explore other venues. I know one writer who does
books on Ford Model A's, and another who's working on a great romance
novel.
