Hosts Daphne and Fred share their analysis of the article "Why Passion is a Plus in Technical Writing" from the Curt Robbins & Associates Technical Writing Agency that was published on August 22, 2024.

An excerpt from the article: "One doesn't have to be hyper-passionate about technical writing to achieve acceptable skills in this area. However, the most successful and effective technical writers I have met in my career have been those with plentiful passion.

"It's not easy to discuss passion. How do we measure it? What are the metrics? What is the relationship between passion and inspiration? Personally, I think the venn diagram of passion overlaps not only inspiration (which is basically a catalyst), but also obsession."
