Key Differences Increative writing the most of the part is self-created, although the idea might be inspired but in technical writing the facts are to be obliged and the note is delivered from leading on what previously other greats have concluded. Most commonly, the creative writing is for general audience or for masses but technical writing is for specific audience. The creative writing entertains people as it has poetry or some illustrations or another idea, whereas the technical writing causes boredom as it follows the strong pattern based on facts and is just to transfer the information to the audience. In technical writing the specialized vocabulary, such like scientific terms and other are used while in creative writing, one can go with slang or evocative phrases or even something which can be perceived well by the audience. Humor, satire might be the useful essences in creative writing but such thoughts or ideas have no link with the technical writing.

It allows readers to directly sympathize with characters and narrators as they imagine having the same sense experiences. Imagery commonly helps build compelling poetry, convincing narratives, vivid plays, well-designed film sets, and descriptive songs.
