I consider myself to be a decent writer. I’ve even made a living at it as a tech writer while looking for work in my primary job as an engineer.
There really isn’t a lot of difference between engineering and writing. As an electrical engineer, I took resisters, capacitors, inductors, power sources and wires and put them together in various ways to make different kinds of circuits.
As a writer, I took nouns, verbs, adverbs, conjunctions and other parts of speech to make different kinds of sentences.
As an engineer, I drew schematic diagrams to show how the circuits were put together. As a child in grade school, I drew schematic diagrams to show how sentences were put together.
I wonder if diagraming sentences has gone the way of cursive writing.
