 Understanding

Writing is the physical act of committing words or ideas to some

medium, whether it is hieroglyphics inked onto parchment or an e-
mail message typed into a computer. On the other hand, writing is
the mental work of inventing ideas, thinking about how to express
them, and organizing them into statements and paragraphs that will
be clear to a reader.

Its purpose is both to express and impress.

Writers typically serve two masters: themselves, and their own

desires to express an idea or feeling. and readers, also called the
audience, who need to have ideas expressed in certain ways Writers
must then choose the best form for their writing-a shopping list,
notes from a meeting, a scholarly article, a novel, or poetry are only
a few of the choices.
