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 the recording of language via a non-textual medium such as magnetic tape audio.

In Eurasia writing began as a consequence of the burgeoning needs of accounting. Around the 4th millennium BC, the complexity of trade and administration outgrew the power of memory, and writing became a more dependable method of recording and presenting transactions in a permanent form (Robinson, 2003, p. 36). In Mesoamerica writing may have evolved through calendrics and a political necessity for recording historical events.

What makes the process of writing philosophy papers different than that of other disciplines?
Q. Everyone says that writing about philosophy is a 'different sort of writing', but I'm not entirely sure what it meant by that. Of course, you're writing about philosophical texts and issues, but how is the actual process of writing any different than any other sort of academic writing?
Asked by kai_maguire - Sun Dec 7 17:50:53 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It is a different sort of writing because, more so than any other branch of the humanities, it is based around (in fact, entirely grounded upon) logic and maths. You cannot (or at least should not) persaude your reader with rhetoric. You must be infinitely careful, consistent and detailed in your definitions. Almost every statement should be reducable to a logical equation. In essence, a philosophy paper is really just an elaborate mathematical equation, with words substituted for numbers. In short, very different to any other discipline.

What are some good and popular writing communities?
Q. I need a popular and a good writing community where you can just write stories. Free! It should be a site good for beginners and allows all types of writing. This is from essays to romance stories. Maybe something that will give you a topic to write about. Anyway, any good writing communities out there?

How is the analytical writing portion of the GRE factored into the overall score?
Q. I just took the GRE and am wondering how scores are calculated. For admissions purposes, do grad schools just look at the combined verbal and quantitative or is it a combination of the writing, verbal and quantitative? The thing throwing me off is that the writing is scored on a scale of 0 to 6, while the verbal and quantitative ranges from 200 to 800. Most grad schools list a minimum score of 1000, but if that's the case, what happens to the writing score? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to all who take the time to answer.

Quotes about Writing.

Sourced

  • After being Turned Down by numerous Publishers, he had decided to write for Posterity.
  • The aspiring writer must not merely be persistent, but relentless. If you are persistent and your manuscript is rejected, you send it out again. But if you are relentless, you make ten copies of the rejected manuscript and send them all out simultaneously.
  • The tendinous part of the mind, so to speak, is more developed in winter; the fleshy, in summer. I should say winter had given the bone and sinew to literature, summer the tissues and the blood.
  • Many books require no thought from those who read them, and for a very simple reason; they made no such demand upon those who wrote them.
  • Please write again soon. Though my own life is filled with activity, letters encourage momentary escape into others lives and I come back to my own with greater contentment.
    • Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey, 'A Woman of Independent Means'
  • You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it.
