How Do You Feel About Writing?

I’m just going to come out and admit it. I like writing! I have found that it is often times easier for me to write down my thoughts than it is to say them.  There is a reason.  When I write, I tend to concentrate and focus on the message I am trying to convey without all of the distractions that come with having a communicating face to face.  When we are communicating face to face, we should be engaged in receiving the message that is being delivered by the other person instead of formulating our responses. However, this is a difficult thing to do for most of us.  We either end up focusing too much on what other person is trying to convey, or too much on what we want to say.  Writing allows me time to organize my thoughts before anyone else knows what they are.

While Technical Writing may not be as glamorous as writing a novel, the concept is still the same. It allows you to effectively convey your message. The Technical Writing class hasn’t really change my view of writing as a whole, as I see Technical Writing as another form of writing. While I don’t think that Technical Writing is the “end-all, be-all”, it has certainly taught me how to effectively communicate in situations and formats that I don’t normally use.
