I won't really be blogging today because I have to author a few process documents and workflows for the client who is in town. BO-RING.
It's not that I hate it that much, I mean I AM a writer. But creative writing is so much more fun than technical writing. I mean yes, it can still be work, and it should be, really, if you're doing it right, but it still can be fun too. Technical writing? Not so much. At least not for me.
I might feel differently if I were being paid to be a technical writer, but no, this is just another responsibility they're heaping on top of my normal duties. That's business for ya ...
... sorry to depress you all. I don't intend to leave you feeling that way. I want you to have a great weekend, so I'll just leave you with this:
That was hilarious! Sorry, no dad life for me.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that 'technical' writing. I'm actually working on a nonfiction piece for another freelance job. It's great, but yeah...not as satisfying as writing my fiction. I guess it's great practice, though. Writing for a mag or newspaper means you have to be REALLY concise. That practice will never hurt me. LOL
ReplyDeleteAwesome video! Off to share...
ReplyDeleteROFL I loved it (especially the Disney part)!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I much prefer writing fiction, too. Way more fun!
ROFL! Too funny. Perfect for Friday.
ReplyDeleteGood Find! Loved that, and can relate with two daughters. It's the dad life for me.
ReplyDeletehaha! I get what you mean though--it's how I kinda feel about my column for the newspaper. Reporting all of the facts is not as fun as making them up!
ReplyDeleteAwesome clip dude! And hey, I write technical copy. I love the challenge of taking boring details and info and making it sound exciting. Picture the audience, write for them.
ReplyDeleteoooh i love making workflows! I could make workflows all day.
ReplyDeleteAlso, that video was so full of win! I'm sending it to my dad
Yeah, as much as I like to write, a still dread writing employee evaluations each year. Everyone says I do them well, but it is not a fun type of writing.
ReplyDeleteLOL... ohhh.. I loved that video! Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteYou know... I "almost" became a technical writer too??
Awesome video! lol
ReplyDeleteBaahahaha! Awesome video!
ReplyDeleteHope your tech. writing goes fast today so it doesn't suck too much fun out of the day!
I write nonfiction articles to make some income and I hate it but it pays. I much prefer my fiction.
ReplyDeleteAwesome video!
AWESOME video.
ReplyDeleteI don't do technical writing but writing university papers makes me feel the same way! Every word is a pain and I literally have to drag it out of myself!
Totally hilarious video. Sent to my brother. I've been in edit mode. I don't love it but it's a relief to get it done. :)
ReplyDeleteLisa ~ YA Literature Lover
are you job transitioning? That would be cool--getting paid to write doesn't entirely kill it. ;p
ReplyDeletelove dad life, even more love for that minivan one... what is it? Hang on... Swagger Wagon. LOL--google it~
Have a super weekend!
How'd you get that video of me?
ReplyDeletehi mr matthew! that was a pretty fun video for dads. sorry you gotta write stuff that not so fun and hope you get it done real fast. i hope you have a real nice weekend.
ReplyDelete...happy halloween hugs from lenny
Thanks for that video. "Manscape" Haha!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the technical writing. I've had to do a little bit about that for my job. And it's medically related. Nothing worse than technical writing about something you don't even understand!!
It just makes writing for ourselves that much more rewarding.
yeah ... totally laughing. I've gotta put this one on my Facebok page. Thanks. Matthew.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you hate democrats so much? Let's a find a balance first, and then start blaming each other. And don't say war is the answer.
ReplyDeletePlease allow me to be spontaneous and post random stuff and quotes. I mean no harm.
I just read another article about this topic, and yours seems to be a lot more to the point. However, their article appears on #1 spot, and your is on the bottom. Why?
I'm a little slow, please don't remove my comments or I will get upset.
Any of you seen a modem carrier around here?
