How do I feel about writing?

How do I feel about writing?  I don't mind writing emails to coworkers, or letters to clients.  They are quick, short and have a clear purpose which is to provide information in an easy format.  Beyond that, I will never claim to be a writer.  I don't care for writing stories, poems, essays or book reports.  I'm not going to be designing brochures, or pamphlets.  Let's be honest - I'm only doing this blog right now because it is a requirement of my Technical Writing course this semester.  Will I continue afterwards, who knows?  If so, it won't be consistently once or twice a week, it won’t have a specific topic or prompt that I need to wax on about.  How do these feelings about writing compare to feelings about technical writing?  Probably about the same - writing is writing.  My view of writing hasn't changed with this class.  Sure, I'm learning about different types of documents, when to use them, how to format, revise and edit.  And can see the impact of having a well-designed document with graphics, fonts, pictures, etc., but overall this is not something that I will be using on a regular basis in my life.  My writing will continue to primarily be to our clients and presented in a professional manner which is not with colors and fonts, pictures, etc.  Is there value in writing, in Technical Writing?  The answer is absolutely.  Am I going to write more than I need to?  Probably not.
