Andrew, I’m glad to hear it was helpful. Real examples are what motivate me as well.

I thought this podcast was a relief to listen to. I have always been a little nervous about this subject. I was happy to hear the real life examples of feelings of satisfaction. That is what I really wanted to hear. I could understand all the content of the podcast and the tone kept me interested. There wasn’t anything that I still felt like I wanted to know.

Thanks Matt. It’s always good to know who’s listening. I gave that presentation at BYU-Idaho last year and had a good response from the students there as well. I still love the field of tech writing. It’s definitely the way to go if you major in English and need to provide for your family.

Great information in the podcast Tom. I just wanted to make you aware that the University of Wisconsin – Stout intro Tech Comm class uses this article for an assignment. I found it very useful and engaging!

Great presentation, Tom! You make technical writing sound like fun. Thanks for the mention. You also mentioned Visio a couple of times — I just started as the writer for Visio in October, so let me know what feedback you have on the docs!
