So do I. My problem with my college courses is there's so much technicality involved. If it's just writing, I'm fantastic. But things like actual *technical* writing, and the hows and wherefores of linguistics, etc. are so difficult for me.

And I don't think technical writing teaches how to 'technically' write, I think it teaches you how to write stuff like the annoying instructions to hook up your V.C.R.?

I wish people would understand more, too. But my father's really iffy about the whole fan fiction, anyway. He thinks it's a waste of my talent. *sighs*
