Of all the professional development advice that floats around on the Internet, one piece of advice has always stood out to me the most. Write. Start your own blog, write an article in a magazine, maybe even write a book. It is definitely great advice, but what does it really mean?

In this session, I will share with you my experience as a writer of many blogs and books. In the past 25 years of staring at a keyboard looking for the next word, I have encountered so many different types of writers and editors. Lots of great stuff that has been written, and the not-so-great.

I will cover how putting yourself out there in the written word is a great thing to do, but I will also share some of the negatives. Whether you have considered writing about technology or not, this session will hopefully give you a feel for the pros and cons of the process.
