Try looking at job postings for 'technical writers' in an area you have a passing knowledge in (computers - and by extension weird industrial systems) and apply for the position even if its not a junior position and even if its not remote. These types of jobs can use someone to plow through the minutia, proof read and work on the assignments no one else wants to. when they find out you are only starting at $5 above minimum wage it should be a really small risk for them to take you on contract to see if things work. I have completely made this up on the spot (sorry) and never seen it work personally, but it is exactly what I would do if I were in your position. When I read your writing above it passes native English, which would be good enough for our team!

update: looks like same ideas as RMK. I should have read the thread farther!
