How Writing Can Expand Your Skills and Grow Your Career
======

At the recent [Open Source Summit in Vancouver][1], I participated in a panel discussion called [How Writing can Change Your Career for the Better (Even if You don't Identify as a Writer][2]. The panel was moderated by Rikki Endsley, Community Manager and Editor for Opensource.com, and it included VM (Vicky) Brasseur, Open Source Strategy Consultant; Alex Williams, Founder, Editor in Chief, The New Stack; and Dawn Foster, Consultant, The Scale Factory.
The talk was [inspired by this article][3], in which Rikki examined some ways that writing can "spark joy" and improve your career in unexpected ways. Full disclosure: I have known Rikki for a long time. We worked at the same company for many years, raised our children together, and remain close friends.
### Write and learn
As Rikki noted in the talk description, “even if you don't consider yourself to be ‘a writer,’ you should consider writing about your open source contributions, project, or community.” Writing can be a great way to share knowledge and engage others in your work, but it has personal benefits as well. It can help you meet new people, learn new skills, and improve your communication style.
I find that writing often clarifies for me what I don’t know about a particular topic. The process highlights gaps in my understanding and motivates me to fill in those gaps through further research, reading, and asking questions.
“Writing about what you don't know can be much harder and more time consuming, but also much more fulfilling and help your career. I've found that writing about what I don't know helps me learn, because I have to research it and understand it well enough to explain it,” Rikki said.
Writing about what you’ve just learned can be valuable to other learners as well. In her blog, [Julia Evans][4] often writes about learning new technical skills. She has a friendly, approachable style along with the ability to break down topics into bite-sized pieces. In her posts, Evans takes readers through her learning process, identifying what was and was not helpful to her along the way, essentially removing obstacles for her readers and clearing a path for those new to the topic.
### Communicate more clearly
Writing can help you practice thinking and speaking more precisely, especially if you’re writing (or speaking) for an international audience. [In this article,][5] for example, Isabel Drost-Fromm provides tips for removing ambiguity for non-native English speakers. Writing can also help you organize your thoughts before a presentation, whether you’re speaking at a conference or to your team.
“The process of writing the articles helps me organize my talks and slides, and it was a great way to provide ‘notes’ for conference attendees, while sharing the topic with a larger international audience that wasn't at the event in person,” Rikki stated.
If you’re interested in writing, I encourage you to do it. I highly recommend the articles mentioned here as a way to get started thinking about the story you have to tell. Unfortunately, our discussion at Open Source Summit was not recorded, but I hope we can do another talk in the future and share more ideas.

写作是如何帮助技能拓展和事业成长的
======
![](https://www.linux.com/sites/lcom/files/styles/rendered_file/public/graffiti-1281310_1920.jpg?itok=RCayfGKv)
在最近的[温哥华开源峰会][1]上，我参加了一个小组讨论，叫做“写作是如何改变你的职业生涯的（即使你不是个作家）”。主持人是 Opensource.com 的社区经理兼编辑 Rikki Endsley，成员有开源策略顾问 VM (Vicky) Brasseur，The New Stack 的创始人兼主编 Alex Williams，还有 The Scale Factory 的顾问 Dawn Foster。
Rikki 在她的[这篇文章][3]中总结了一些能愉悦你，并且能以意想不到的方式改善你职业生涯的写作方法，我在峰会上的发言是受她这篇文章的启发。透露一下，我认识 Rikki 很久了，我们在同一家公司共事了很多年，一起带过孩子，到现在还是很亲密的朋友。
### 写作和学习
正如 Rikki 对这个小组讨论的描述，“即使你自认为不是一个‘作家’，你也应该考虑写一下对开源的贡献，还有你的项目或者社区”。写作是一种很好的方式，来分享自己的知识并让别人参与到你的工作中来，当然它对个人也有好处。写作能帮助你结识新人，学习新技能，还能改善你的沟通。
我发现写作能让我搞清楚自己对某个主题有哪些不懂的地方。写作的过程会让知识体系的空白很突出，这激励了我通过进一步的研究、阅读和提问来填补空白。
Rikki 说：“写那些你不知道的东西会更加困难也更加耗时，但是也更有成就感，更有益于你的事业。我发现写我不知道的东西有助于自己学习，因为得研究透彻才能给读者解释清楚。”
把你刚学到的东西写出来对其他也在学习这些知识的人是很有价值的。[Julia Evans][4] 经常在她的博客里写有关学习新技能的文章。她能把主题分解成一个个小的部分，这种方法对读者很友好，容易上手。Evans 在自己的博客中带领读者了解她的学习过程，指出在这个过程中哪些是对她有用的，哪些是没用的，基本消除了读者的学习障碍，为新手清扫了道路。
### 更明确的沟通
写作有助于练习思考和准确讲话，尤其是面向国际受众写作（或演讲）时。例如，在[这篇文章中][5]，Isabel Drost-Fromm 为那些母语不是英语的演讲者提供了几个技巧来消除歧义。不管是在会议上还是在自己团队内发言，写作还能帮你在演示之前理清思路。
Rikki 说：“写文章的过程有助于我组织整理自己的发言和演示稿，也是一个给参会者提供笔记的好方式，还可以分享给没有参加活动的更多国际观众。”
如果你有兴趣，我鼓励你去写作。我强烈建议你参考这里提到的文章，开始思考你要写的内容。 不幸的是，我们在开源峰会上的讨论没有记录，但我希望将来能再做一次讨论，分享更多的想法。
