Hmmm... Now I always wanted to write fiction as well as documentation,
but never had any luck getting anything published, and one comment
several editors made was that my ideas weren't original enough. Could
that have something to do with why I seem to be better at technical
writing?

Technical writers aren't usually hired for their flashing genius and
creativity, they're hired for their knowledge and ability to explain
complicated subjects; so eccentrics need not apply.
