I wouldn’t say that the delineation itself is between technical and creative writing. As ia pointed out, some literary genres actually require the economy of words. (e.g. poetry, vignettes, etc) I suppose it boils down to intent. For instance, rambling can be humorous or it could reiterate exasperation. The way I see it, if it’s purposeful, then it’s ok.

(That discounts creative writing, of course.)

I disagree. The trait of a good poem, for example, is that it says everything it needs to say in the fewest words possible. (I’m trying to remember where I heard that. Probably in CW 10.) One might dispute that with more flowery poetry—and prose, actually—but I believe it’s still true for those works. There are flowery words, and then there are unnecessary words. That goes for design, programming, and practically everything else.

There’s a saying by Eintstein about it. And there’s Occam’s Razor. Not exactly the same but emphasize simplicity, nay, elegance.

So it’s a choice between creative writing and technical writing? I guess it depends upon the blog your write and the niche you’re in.
