Great article Vicki!I am a freelance technical writer (been at it just over a year so I'm a newby) and have always worked from the client's office. I would dearly love to work at home as you do (my cat would like it too). I just wasn't sure how one would go about it - thanks to your article now I know! I think I've just identified my next professional goal.
Thanks so much!
Kelly

Kelly,You're very welcome. I hope you accomplish your goal of working off-site.
It was a high priority goal for me, so I found a way to make it work. I'm so glad too. I love working from my own office, taking my breaks when I want, and best of all, wearing what I want!

Vicki:Your piece on working off-site as a technical writer is exactly what I've been looking for.
I worked for over 10 years in Manhattan at two large publishing companies as a senior technical magazine editor, which had its own set of challenges.
Now I've got new or renewed goals to aim for:
- Good communicator
- Motivated self-starter
- Proven track record of excellent work
- Impeccable references
- Prove myself capable of working off-site
Leave it to a tech writer to make it clear and simple.
Thanks,
Matt
