Hi everyone -
I imagine you will gain a fair share of new members coming to you as dissatisfied STC members who decided not to renew their STC membership for 2008. Although I'm not thrilled with the current STC mood, I am nonetheless grateful for it because otherwise I would not have known about your group from the conversations on the STC lists. I did renew and remain an STC member (Lone Writer and Independent Contractor), but hope you will welcome me anyway. I work out of my home office near Austin, Texas and am well into my tenth year of technical writing (mostly part-time) and third year doing it full time as owner of my own business. I enjoy my work and my clients, especially my online help and e-learning contracts. I get scared sometimes when a contract is ending and I don't have another one (preferably two) lined up, but somehow I end up with enough work to meet my financial needs and even some of my wants. I do aspire to bigger and better technical writing contracts and enjoy learning new things. And a cruise to someplace exotic for about a month would be cool J. I look forward to reading your posts, contributing some of my own, and being a part of your group. Happy New Year!
