Technical is a word with many meanings. It can refer to a technique that you are using or it can mean that you show skill and knowledge in a certain area of arts and science. It can also mean a type of work that requires skilled application of required techniques and it can be applied to or by a person or industry.

Writing means using letters in the alphabet to create words and phrases that express your thoughts. Combining different words makes a written piece. It is also a way of communication that is non-verbal, but can be read aloud.

My major is Health Science, specifically Health Promotion and Education and the word technical and writing have meaning in this field. I think that in my profession and personally, these words mean the same thing. Although, writing for my profession would be more professional, than if I am sending an email to one of my friends, they are both using letters to create words and phrases that are expressing my thoughts. I don't always think that I am being technical on a daily basis, but I do use that more in my profession. In different areas, these words can have different application to our lives.
