SPOILER: I am a terrible writer
I reflect on my challenges clearly communicating, and my hope that reading a self help book I bought in January of 2020 will fix everything.
A recently-released* book about being a good content writer for developers reminded me — I am a terrible writer.
It takes me many revisions to get to anything good. I meander. I might not have a goal. I keep notes for myself and post them bare.
How many times through re-reading old posts am I embarrassed by the overall quality? Plenty!
On my work wikis, personal blog, my presentations, and even on my personal notes to myself, I am rarely clear. For someone who is paid to type for a living, my docs are miserable. I mean, they're present. And they have links and sections. And I get peers to review them to remove the sharpest corners.
Hoping that a clear read through of The Developer's Guide to Content Creation helps me focus, edit, and treat my work as a 1st class entity**. And that I am able to schedule a set of content entries that is helpful for my coworkers.
I'm also considering running a new RPG game, and creating entertainment content. Having these points outlined for that as well should be helpful there too. Let's see!
