Writing

I am *also* a technical writer. I ask people what they do and then write about it. No fuss, no frills. That's why creative writers fascinate me. I mean, where do they get all these ideas for their characters and stories? Their idea well must be very deep.

Technical writing is just putting words together to describe something that is already there. Then use MLA standards to make it real professional-looking. Creative writing, on the other hand, is creating experiences for the reader. I wish I could do that. Perhaps I could that that. But it would take years and years of Silliman summer workshops to pull any creative writing goo out of me :)
