Creative Writing vs.
Technical Writing
There are journalists everywhere throughout the world
in the two classifications- and it boggles the brain to
hear that millions have been produced using both
experimental writing and specialized composition.
Some have made fortunes. While some have not made
anything.
 Delight can be picked up from the two sorts, yet most
would agree that the two of them fill various needs. The
two of them have their own do's and don'ts and the two
of them have their own principles. Both are represented
by language structure and style. Both show up all over.
So what's the distinction?
What is Creative Writing?
 Creative Writing
Creative writing is written to entertain and educate. We enjoy
reading novels and stories, not because they are necessary to
read or helpful for us, just because we get a certain pleasure
from reading them, the pleasure which can't be got from reading
technical writing.
 Creative Writing
Creative writing has such huge numbers of sorts and sub-classes
that they merit an entire area of an article for themselves. It in some
cases keeps a given arrangement of rules, and once in a while tosses
alert to the breezes and breaks every one of them. In any case, ability
is fairly an important fixing in the event that you need to compose
inventively. Obviously, composing can be improved by training. Be
that as it may, on the off chance that you don't have the fundamental
ability, your composing would not offer joy to anybody.
 Types of Creative Writing

Poetry
Plays
Movie and television scripts
Fictions, novels, novelas, and short stories
Songs
Speeches
Memoirs
Personal Essays
What is Technical
Writing?
 Technical Writing
Written to inform and sometimes to trigger the
person reading into making an action beneficial to
the one of the writer.
Technical writing isn't composed to entertain. It
has its own arrangement of rules, shows, do's and
don'ts, magnum opuses and bits of garbage. There is
an entire craftsmanship to acing specialized
composition, despite the fact that it also is fanned:
online specialized composition and disconnected
specialized composition.

• Resume
• Business Proposals
