What is writing

Writing is the representation of concepts or ideas on a surface through symbols or codes designated by the written form of a language. Writing is an act of communication and a channel through which a message is transmitted to the receiver.

Writing also indicates the composition of a more complex and elaborate message, such as a book, speech, or music.

You can use various instruments or tools to write such as: a computer, a typewriter, a pencil, a pen or a marker.

Writing derives from Latin I will write which in turn has an Indo-European root that indicated the action of tracing or scratching.
