Just a personal observation -- technical and creative writing call upon the same craftsmanship (use of language, planning, outlining, adjusting when the project runs away with itself). TW is great practice for a CW because it instills the discipline to _write_ and not fuss around with self-indulgent sillinesses such as "writer's block" (from which no successful creative writer suffers). The hardest (and most required) part of "creative writing" -- and the most creative -- is figuring out when I'm able to steal that disciplined hour to move the story along another page or two.
Just MHO. YMMV. Dori Green TW & Storyteller For some great technical creative writing: almost anything by Arthur C. Clarke, "Bears Discover Fire" by Terry Bisson (winner of Hugo and Nebula awards, and four or five others). http://www.fictionwise.com/eBooks/eBook24914.htm?cached ______________________________________________ Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help.
