Venturing into Technical Writing!!!

This is one of the most common queries people have when they meet me. What is your job profile? Then, I  have go about explaining them the work I do. Even tech-savvy people who understand technology have this query.
 
But, the most common question I receive is how to launch my career in technical writing, especially from students and frustrated developers. This blog will take you through the small but firm steps of getting into technical writing.

Now coming to the penultimate question: What is Technical Writing? (The ultimate one is how to get into it?)

Across Wiki and other forums there are many good definitions available for the term Technical Writing, but the most appropriate one I feel is:
"Technical writing is creating documents that help someone install, deploy, configure or use a product or a service."
