Comments on: A Way to Get Technical Writing Practice http://www.gryphonmountain.net/2009/03/a-way-to-get-technical-writing-practice/ Technical Communication and Other Writing Topics, by Ben Minson Wed, 11 Jan 2012 04:05:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Craig http://www.gryphonmountain.net/2009/03/a-way-to-get-technical-writing-practice/#comment-242 Craig Wed, 04 Mar 2009 15:41:10 +0000 http://www.gryphonmountain.net/?p=360#comment-242 People who are looking for practice and who don't have access to many applications could also write small how-to guides for Word, IE, or Firefox. Most everyone should have these apps handy. Something like, "Fixing IE When You Hate Using It," or "Fixing Word When You're on Deadline." Things like that. I go to technical forums, find problems I've had, and write down the solutions in my own words in plain English in notepad, and save them to my desktop. If I can do that, so can others.
