What is Writing?

Writing is the act of putting your thoughts, knowledge, or beliefs into words. It can take various forms, such as scribbles, autographs, manuscripts, articles, books, or documents. Writing uses symbols and letters to express meaning, preserving human communication. Unlike spoken words, which can be misquoted, written words remain unchanged and are preserved for eternity. Historical figures relied on scribes to document important information, ensuring their legacies endured.

Expand Your Knowledge:
