Commonly, technical writing gives entertainment to people as it contains poetry or some idea unlike creative writing can be boring in giving the audiences the information or idea.
The vocabulary in technical writing that are specialized like terms from science and other are what they were using while in creative writing you can slang the terms or phrase for the audience.
One useful essence of creative writing is HUMOR but still the idea from it doesn't have any connections with technical writing.

SENSORY DETAILS
- With the use of our five senses ( taste, smell, touch, sight and sound ), writers tries to take the interest of the readers.
This is very essential to what you are writing if you want your readers to engage in reading.
Remembering what you have tasted, touched, heard, seen or smelled from the past experience, and apply it into your details for writing or think about your favorite games, cartoons or any movies.
Take ideas about their sounds and what it looks like. What are the characteristics of your favorite character?
Using SENSORY DETAILS can make your story come to life.
With the used of sensory details, whatever you are describing, readers can experience it personally.
Connecting to your readers personally can be enabled through your writings with universal idea and it will surely conveys.
Another thing is, every senses are equally important. No sense is better or greater than the others. Each senses plays an important role in your work.
But even so, when it comes to Vivid Writing, Imagery in the sight sense is usually used.
Examples of passage with NO SENSORY DETAILS.
"After i bought a flowers in the store, I directly went to the market but later on I realized I forgot the bread I need to buy."
The sentences or phrases doesn't have anything to make the readers come to the world or idea of the writer.
Example with Sensory Detail.
"After I bought a flowers in the store, I directly went to the market and suddenly I saw a red rose while on my way. The rose is so fragrant that I put it inside my dusty bag. As i reached the market, it is so noisy and so I get out from there to drink some delicious juice nearby."

Sight - saw
Smell - fragrant
Touch - dusty
Hear - noisy
