# Technical Writing For Normal People
## A cheeky thought on technical writing
Writing is easy, it's just putting creative sounding words on a page isn't it?
And what about _technical writing_, which should be even easier as there's no creativity required!?

# Technical Writing for the Unemployed
Unlike most of my other posts which are filled with colloquialisms and a generally casual vernacular this one will not(at least ima try not to).
## Who this is aimed at
<!--- --->
<!--- I'm not yet sure if this language is too harsh or unbecoming of the tone i want to give off in this article --->
Computer Science students: primarily due to the seemingly enormous lack of communicative tact that way too many students seem to reserve.
What I mean is that writing documentation falls unto the typical CS student as being an esoteric, excessive, or otherwise unnecessary task.
<!--- potentially shift the goalpost to code instead of general ideology as the structure seems to imply atm --->
My theory as to why this is follows: most CS students don't get to experience large enough projects where technical documentation is needed.
In conjunction with my theory I propose that large scale projects are exactly what students should be exposed to.
This is in contrast to the current method of using smaller unit sized

# A word on work ethic
Being that I'm close to graduating this semester(only 2 more months yay!) I've started getting more and more questions from other students.
Most are pretty general: _Are you excited/nervous.. what is your plan etc._
Interestingly enough one of the questions that comes up with jobs, is: _what do I do to stand out_.
Usually I just respond with something to do with whatever project I happen to be working on at that moment, which is nearly always met with: _how do you do that/ how do you find the time/ I'm so busy I can't do anything/ insert time excuse here_.
I'm not going to say that I'm _t h e b e s t_ at anything but I have put in more time than I can even account for towards the things I want to achieve and it all boils down to one skill.
