In less than three months of joining Google as a technical writer, I managed to survive the first product release with a set of documentation amounting to more than 130+ pages worth of content! Whew! I’d say that’s about the same (or even more) amount of documentation I generated in my first year at National Instruments! Talk about an insane amount of documentation, not to mention the initial learning curve of starting a new job, figuring out the ropes, getting familiar with new writing styles, and working on a product that is completely unrelated to anything I’ve ever worked with. But that’s the kind of challenge and excitement that I thrive in, if only I had just a little more time to work on the documentation!
Now back to generating more content to this blog!

Congratulations! That’s a baptism by fire. “…if only I had just a little more time to work on the documentation.” Heh, I soooo know where you’re coming from. I’m guessing most tech writers can relate to that sentiment. And to thriving on the buzz too.

More time is doubtlessly what tech writers want most!
