I WISH I WERE YOU
People ask me how I am so focused. Others want to know my
organizational skills. Many envy the fact I quit the day job
to write full-time and bask in my study overlooking the lake.

But sometimes I wish I were you.
I've created a world I love. Peace and quiet nurture me. But
I've noticed something. Having the same routine and the same
environment removes me from story catalysts.

Experiences, good or bad, create stories. I live in a self-
designed buffer that serves me well. But there are times when
I rack my brain for story ideas. I've reached a point that
when I leave my Garden of Eden and venture to a conference,
an event, heck, even the mall and the grocery store, I make

Most of you, however, jump out there into the population,
traffic and sea of activity and get inundated with stimuli.
You ought to come home every day clamoring for the computer,
eager to jot down all those story concepts. You stay awake
at night sorting through the potential magazine feature,
touching anthology piece or character dissection as a result
of the people you contacted. But most individuals do not
recognize the magic they possess.

Why is it that people beg to get away and write? Why are retreats
so popular? Most think they cannot tap their muse without
peace and solitude. I think people choose to cage that muse
until it's a convenient time to write. So they pay for a trip
or apply for a fellowship. They arrive, let down their hair
and give themselves permission to write.

It Does More Than Pay the Bills: Lessons from Technical Writing
By Katherine Hauswirth
When I reveal that I'm a technical writer, I don't draw an
interested crowd at parties. Sometimes even I'm not interested
in my day job, but I do count myself lucky that my affinity for
writing merged with my overriding need to pay bills. This landed
me a well paying job with fairly flexible hours. Although
grateful for the steady gig, I grumbled. Yes, I was writing for
a living, but certainly not on the topics I crave. And I was too
tired (at first) to do any real writing after the work day ended.

tired (at first) to do any real writing after the work day ended.
My friends offered, "At least you are writing." This was like
telling a highly-trained chef who was cooking short order "At
least you are cooking." Surely that chef would sneer and say,
"This is not cooking. It is slinging hash."
telling a highly-trained chef who was cooking short order "At

"Hash slinging" in the technical world has provided several
lessons that have enhanced my approach to the colorful cuisine
I really go for, creative writing. Here is what I have learned:
lessons that have enhanced my approach to the colorful cuisine
I really go for, creative writing. Here is what I have learned:
tales, you must set realistic time limits. Learn not to linger over
minute details. Step back and reprioritize at least once a day.
Being realistic about your time constraints shapes your project
and task choices, guaranteeing wise use of your creative energy.
into something understandable, thinking primarily of the reader
at every step in the process. Even as you pound out a loosely
woven first draft, enter the mind of your reader. How does your
writing serve the reader? Stick to what the reader wants and needs.
and read with a critical eye, and the margins are quickly
crammed with questions. Is this the best way to present the
message? Can you provide more detail? Keep a list of questions
as you write: Does your character need more color? Can you try
a first-person approach?
that technical writers hone a systematic approach. Having a
predictable system builds confidence and efficiency. Find yours.
Perhaps your best revisions require a hard copy, a cup of coffee,
a comfortable chair, and a green pen. Stick to your system.
Eventually the green ink will diminish and your piece will take
shape for submission.
from ridiculous to right on target. Technical writers must be
balanced: they cannot take comments personally or ignore the
feedback of their team. Remember that a good reviewer wants you
to succeed. Carefully consider the best reviewer for the topic
you are covering, and use them early in the process.
and often edit several pages while waiting for the meeting to
start. Adopting this practice at home can double your creative
productivity. Keep a knapsack with you, stuffed with files ready
for when you wait your turn at the doctor or the auto body shop.
rewrite yet again is limited by looming deadlines. To use your
writing time and energy efficiently, you may need to "back burner"
your current project and work up a new idea instead. Remember, no
writing experience gets wasted. Every project contributes to your
skills.
The last lesson I have learned is that I am not alone. Each
time I have a new list of tables and figures to edit, I remind
myself of other former "hash slingers" turned poet or novelist.
Archibald MacLeish was Director of the Office of Facts and
Figures. Don Delillo and Hart Crane wrote advertising copy
before novels and poems. Maybe I will soon join the ranks of
former technical writers. In the meantime I will study the
lessons offered by my day job.
