Narrative writing is, essentially, story writing. A narrative can be fiction or nonfiction, and it can also occupy the space between these as a semi-autobiographical story, historical fiction, or a dramatized retelling of actual events.

The purpose of procedural texts is to provide a series of precise, sequenced steps or directions that explain to the reader how to do something, while also allowing the reader to reach the outcome successfully.
