Add on to 6.1A and the whole Portfolio Project

I started the Portfolio Project just a mere 5 weeks ago and here it is midterms already. I spent time going through archives of CD's for files I could put in the binders and sheet protectors to show off my work. I talked to the instructor about career options and my original career intents. I've researched several options but nothing prepared me for the paradigm shift that I had Friday night.

I was doing some of the research and reading about various things for a couple hours after work doing a little "fun" reading working towards the project. I walk in to the bedroom where my sweetie was taking a nap and start jabbering about what I had been reading. He's only half awake but stops me for a sec and pops off with "What about Technical Writing? You do that all the time when you do tutorials and stuff" I run off and go looks stuff up and sure enough, I've been a writer in one form or another most of my life and for about 15 or so years I've been a technical writer.

Now, I want to do consulting work but I think I have a focus for a consulting type business finally.... Technical Writing which encompasses resumes, cover letters, tutorials, blogs, web site content, grants and many many other things I love to write about.

My list of resources is now huge including resources for learning some specific tech writing stuff so I guess I'll have to compile my list of resources as part of the project now too..... will a print out of my favorites list and Google Notebooks do? ;-)
