After not taking college classes in quite some time, and then jumping in over the summer with the shortened time frame, I have to say this semester seems to keep going and going. I'm sure everything that is going on at work and home are adding to the feeling but it seems to be stretching endlessly ahead. But onward and upward we go.
This post we are thinking about Technical Writing as a whole, new skills learned, old skills sharpened, how our writing has changed, what did we gain and how will this help us in our professional journey. I think for old skills, the reminder to review, edit and proofread our writing before we publish it is always beneficial. New skills I've learned is formatting different types of documents and when to use them. I've gained some more experience creating and using templates, using different programs more like PowerPoint and allowing some creativity out with design and layout. But I will also say that I'm glad my professional writing needs to be more concise, to the point with basic/standard letter formatting so that you don't have to think about all these aspects when communicating with clients, coworkers and peers.
Now I am off on vacation and will be completely disconnecting from the outside world with very limited wifi and no cell service. The only things I'm checking off the list this week is to get more sleep, enjoy the sun with lots of sunscreen and no sunburns, eat some good food, especially desserts and enjoy a few adult beverages. There may be too much to do but this week it will all have to wait. Happy Thanksgiving, relax and enjoy your time with friends and family.
