I save my creative writing for after work; clarity and substance by

day, creativity and style by night.

It's a system.

Awww if only everyone followed that system...what a wonderful (or at least easier to understand) world it would be!! :)

The thing is, it's not just knowing those "special" words. It's also

"seldom" or "never", at least as far as technical documentation is
concerned).

I save my creative writing for after work; clarity and substance by
day, creativity and style by night.

It's a system.
