October 2022: I’m a Tech Writer

Not gonna lie, I’m both excited and nervous about my latest career transition. It’s a dream come true after all — I thought I wouldn’t have this chance because this is a role that is relatively tough to break into.

I started my Tech Writing job in September and I’m enjoying it so far. The chance to combine my passion for writing and fascination for software and tech was a rare opportunity.

It’s quite different from content marketing, terribly refreshing, and The community is also one of the most supportive and passionate I’ve seen. I’m looking forward to years of connecting with other tech writers and learning more about the profession.

On hold: Productivity at Work series

Thanks to Google’s recent SEO updates, I’m rethinking my blog strategy. Google doesn’t like nicheless websites, so I’ll be forced to choose my focus for this blog. And Squarespace’s price hike, my reluctance to migrate to Squarespace 7.1 and the fact that there’s no easy way to do so is making me think twice about making this website as a base for all my content.

Squarespace blogs are notoriously difficult to export to other platforms, so I need a more flexible content management system … and a cheaper one.

With all this going on, I’ve decided to put my Productivity at Work series on hold as I figure things out.

Should I just create another blog to house the content I had planned to write about being a fiction writer and technical writer? Should I move my more personal posts to Substack like writers Tsh Oxenreider and Nat Eliason are doing? So many questions.

As a content marketer, the answer is easy — just create a different website. Niche it.

As a lover of personal websites and a free-spirited creator, I rebel against such a regimented approach; a crave simplicity — one website to rule them all. Perhaps I will say to hell with it all and create a website that will make Google annoyed. Yay!

But then there’s Squarespace … ugh.

My reading list

My reading is picking up! Currently enjoying my historical romances, detective novels and non-fiction and hoping to make a dent at my ever-growing TBR.
