The Life of a Writer and Editor

My career as a technical writer and editor has been filled with many people and a wide range of topics. I've worked on everything from self-help books for individual authors to editing NASA's Exploration Systems Architecture Study Final Report. In between, I've worked on an insurance underwriter guide, computer software user manuals, technical reports, nonfiction (autobiographical), and even dabbled in editing some fiction.

Currently, even as I work SAIC at NASA, I am honing my fiction writing techniques. I'm looking forward to writing historical and paranormal fiction, perhaps even combining the two!

Where will my career take me next? I'm holding on for the ride!
