Connie, My yearly salary jumped by quite a bit when I started as a tech writer with no tech writing but lots of writing experience back in 1999. The field needs good writers! Having actual technical skills won't hurt your prospects either.
We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero!

I've never really known how to get a start in the field, so I'm proud of myself for jumping on this when it came available. It's certainly got a better future than tech support.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I'm actually surprised by this: Clay Aiken comes out.

Surprised that he actually did it, I assume.

Oh yeah, of course.

“Not dead yet!”
And you know, maybe it doesn't have a damned thing to do with anything, but that's easily one of the best, most relaxed pictures I've seen of him.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Timelies!
Happy birthday, Nilly! May the coming year bring you all of the best. {{{{{HUG}}}}}
Happy birthday. Emmett!
That is a very cute bat cake, and YES, I want something similar for my 40th birthday.
Me too, please!

So that is Clay Aiken and not k.d. lang, as I first assumed and thought, "Why is k.d. lang on the cover of a Clay Aiken piece? Or is that Clay Aiken?"

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Birthday Felicitations to Emmett! And Nilly, Felicitations to you too, during whichever period of time your arrival on this planet is celebrated!

Yeah, he totally looks like k.d. lang now.
