Technical Writing: 'Love to Learn this!

Since day one that I started schooling, I already had the interest in writing any kind of compositions- poems, essays, short plays, songs, you name it. And during high school, my classmates tagged me as the "scriptwriter". Now that I am an adult ( hopefully, in the true sense of the word) and already starting to establish a career, the passion to write still ignites my soul. But I really don't know if I should be proud of this supposed to be "talent" because unfortunately, it remained a passion, not a full-pledged career. Until I learned about Technical writing from the Asian Institute of Journalism and Communication. If we have talent in writing and we want to use it in a corporate world, I think we have to learn the techniques of technical writing. All corporate and public organizations produce information that has to be communicated clearly and effectively to a variety of publics both internal and external. Communicators have to ensure that their business correspondence in whatever form (i.e., letters, reports, proposals and presentations, among others) are attractive, comprehensible, and clearly stated, while remaining technically precise and accurate. Communication techniques are employed to ensure that these standards are met. For sure, as soon as I'm back in Manila, I will prioritize enrolling for the technical writing course. Who knows? I can be an executive staff of a legislator (dream on!) or a company Director..
