I'm with Flannery on this one. I do use writing as a therapeutic tool sometimes, but I usually spare the general public from those rants.
I tried to write fiction once, a short story it was. My editing group was just about to call the cliché police when I conceded,"Okay! I can't make stuff up!" That's not entirely true.
What I can do is draw word pictures with such clarity you can smell them. And I'm a dab hand at spell-checking, invent hyphenated-words infrequently and hardly ever begin sentences with a conjunction.
I can write:
- letters
- manuals
- reports
- grant applications
- ad copy
- media releases
- profiles: business and personal
- surveys
- web content
- brochures
- newsletters
