What do you think, a writer's job is? Any one can write and publish shit, do we call a loquacious,voluble,vociferous,verbose talker,who chooses to prioritize quantity and continuity over quality! Or do we Prefer Writers, who express their ideas persuasively, brilliantly, with whole hearted assent and dedication to convey something of substantial value to it's taciturn readers.Writing is a form of art,indeed one of the 'highest and richest',, forms enriched with a wide variety of differences, in itself. Words, Are tools or Medium, through which a writer attempts to create, it's Own Rhapsody .writing is one of the most exclusive , informative and a powerful weapon, that holds enormous power and potential to dictate nations, spread warm messages amidst hurtful rumors, and promote an ideology or Belief, Upon Which the entire nation vehemently Agrees!

It also includes Press Releases, Memos(memorandum),business proposals ,data sheets, product descriptions and specifications, resumes and job applications, as accepted documents which are considered as forms of technical writing.

Any person, who possess relevant information or knowledge about the specific technique, or technology ,whose description is to be presented , commonly undertaken in a professional setting, for which they get paid for, following up to the prescribed standards and necessary , vital details, if any.
