You're not alone - I write procedures for myself all the time.
But I don't think I do it out of an addiction to tech writing; rather,
it's to accommodate my inadequate memory. Apparently I have limited RAM,
and each time I learn something new, something else gets purged to make
room for it. So I've learned to cope.
But I will admit that I *do* have a hard time keeping bulleted lists out
of my fiction. Hmmm - maybe I do have a problem after all...

my gun and half-empy flask, crossing her legs and popping her chewing gum.
She handed me a solitary sheet of paper. "Thanks, doll," I said, squinting
up at her through the haze of my cigarette. Then I looked more closely at
the paper, and grabbed the dame by the arm. "Wait a minute, toots," I
barked. Lola's eyes grew wide with terror, waiting for me to ask the
question she dreaded. The question she knew I had to ask.
"Did you use styles?"
