I know I've really enjoyed the technical reviews that I've done. I have
done about a half dozen or so and I can say that I have learned things
from every one. I would like to write books, but the muse has not given
me a technical topic yet, so I try to stay involved in tech reviews when
I get the chance (I don't care how much or little I get paid, a copy of
the book when done is nice). I try and take something from each book I
read whether before or after publishing and DO SOMETHING with it. The
best example is the SQL*Loader book I reviewed for Jonathan Gennick.
The chapter on tuning sparked some testing and I found a predictable way
to significantly speed up data loads when direct is not an option.

I can certainly echo the sentiments expressed in this article.
Writing a book ( as a coauthour in my case) was something I had
wanted to do, and harbored no illusions of quick riches. Many
hundreds
of hours on that book netted me about.. lemme see here...
Well, a night shift at Starbucks would have paid nearly as well. But
then
again, I didn't do it for the money.
Rachel tried to scare me away from it, but it didn't work.
Technical editing is enjoyable, also doesn't pay too well, but is
a lot less stressful than trying to meet a writing deadline.
