It certainly takes a confident writer who knows about the subject at hand and with the many "dry" topics in technical writing one has to be passionate about them to bring the information across with zest and attraction. @ Scott: I totally agree with your views on technical writing.

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said you enjoy doing this type of work because to me that is key in whatever we do. Thanks for stopping by, great to see another new face. ;) @ kazari: Good to hear technical writing works for you.

I believe it takes a special person with a personal drive to be good at technical writing. Karzi points out what is hard to him and he does it in his everyday job. Like Karzi I think it needs to be something you enjoy doing money aside. Good onfo and terrific post on a difficult subject!

The hardest part for me is being persuasive, while keeping the tone objective and um, 'technical'. That can be hard. But it's very rewarding writing, particularly when you manage to translate a difficult concept for a non-technical audience. I do some technical writing in my day job, and really enjoy it.

I'd heard technical writing was well paid but I assumed that you had to be some sort of expert to get that type of work. Hi Monika – This is interesting.
