Interesting article. My cousin Christine just had her first novel published (after winning a few contests) and she is a technical writer in Utah. I just finished the novel and could see the discipline, as well as some of the structure that came out of her technical writing background. It really stood out in where she decided to begin and end chapters.
She has inspired me, although I never seem to get past the carrying around a notebook in my purse and jotting down ideas phase! :( Melissa >From: "Dana Worley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [email protected] >Subject: [TCP] Technical writers may shape future of American lit >Date: Wed, 06 Jun 2007 16:01:55 -0600 > >While I'm not a member of the STC :), I get a couple of the >Intermountain Chapter's mass mailings.
