Writing

Writing is the representation of language in a textual medium through the use of a set of signs or symbols (known as a writing system). It is distinguished from illustration, such as cave drawing and painting, and non-symbolic preservation of language via non-textual media, such as magnetic tape audio.

Famous quotes containing the word writing:

    ‘Tis hard to say, if greater want of skill
    Appear in writing or in judging ill;
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    I have a vast deal to say, and shall give all this morning to my pen. As to my plan of writing every evening the adventures of the day, I find it impracticable; for the diversions here are so very late, that if I begin my letters after them, I could not go to bed at all.
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)

    ... no writing is a waste of time,—no creative work where the feelings, the imagination, the intelligence must work.
    Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
