How To Make A Template

How to make a template

Much of the world is written in narrative format. A narrative is a story with a story arc, a character, a goal, and trials over time. Technical writing is a different type of writing which conveys information without necessarily commiting to characterization. One might say that writing software is some of the most dry technical writing.

Here is a diagram of Templetizing a hybrid article, techinical writing and narrative.


1. Determine the article of templatetizing.

"how to write a narrative product story"

2. Find an example of the Template.

3. Copy the Headings Only, and Generalize Specifics

# Here's how building {the built things general frasin} went

## Soooo!
{historical context of the project}

## Architecture Decisions and Why
(the headings should be customized for the story)
### Pro/Cons of Selected Software Libs
e.g. Using Vanilla JS VS Library
### Pro/Cons Addressed Audience
e.g. Why I started with chrome?
### Pro/Cons User Interface Feature
e.g. Widget vs Popup

## Finializing the Project
Publishing to Chrome Store

## Who am I?
For those who don't know me, I am {NAME}. I am {WHAT I AM}! I write {WHAT I WRITE}.

If you want to see more {OF MY WORK}, you can follow me on {ON WHAT PLATFORM I CAN BE FOLLOWED}.

Oh! and don't forget to check out the {PROGRAM} and let me know your feedback 🙂
