I don’t discuss my job in my blog
20-Dec-06
As anyone who reads my blog long enough knows, I do not discuss employers or clients in my blog. This is professional courtesy, as working relationships can sometimes become stressful or contentious, even in the course of a good, productive working relationship. What’s more, most of the time my work is anonymous. People do not typically care who wrote the software manual, and even if my name were on it, it wouldn’t reflect all the people who really put effort into it.
However, that doesn’t mean I don’t discuss work. I talk about the work of being a professional writer all the time, the ups and downs, and I do publicly talk about my role as a book author (because really, it’s pretty hard to hide that).
So, the announcement today is that I have a new job!
