## Source excerpt

Writing is a learned skill. No one person is a good or bad writer. 🙂 When a colleague asked me to mentor them on technical writing, I searched for a single technical writing article, guide, book, or tutorial that addressed three key things. Since I couldn't find one, I decided to create a tutorial on technical writing.
