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.

Writing is an extension of human language across time and space. Writing most likely began as a consequence of political expansion in ancient cultures, which needed reliable means for transmitting information, maintaining financial accounts, keeping historical records, and similar activities. 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. In both Mesoamerica and Ancient Egypt writing may have evolved through calendrics and a political necessity for recording historical and environmental 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.

How do you start writing lyrics?
Q. I need to write 2 songs (lyrics, but chords optional) for a music assignment. I get ideas and write them down sometimes, but nothings really inspirational to me. I like artists like pink floyd, cat stevens, norah jones, nirvana, and black sabbath. What can i do to start writing (reasonably good) lyrics?

A. Hi Bella, Are you writing to a melody, or do you have free reign? Does it have to be a particular structure (verse-chorus-verse-choru s, etc), or can you do whatever you wish with it? Here's what I'd suggest: The biggest hurdle in writing great lyrics is coming up with an interesting idea and angle to write about. The following info should help you come up with better ideas. Step One: Decide what you want to communicate to the listener- What do you want your listener to feel? Do you want them to sympathize with you? Would you like them to take some sort of action? Do you want to pick them up when they feel down? Play around with different emotions. Brainstorm ideas on heartbreak, jealousy, anger, addiction, whatever. Something… [cont.]

Should I start out writing a simple book before I begin my dream book series?
Q. I am a new writer and i someday want to write six fantasy books i have been planning for a year now, but I'm afraid I don't have the writing ability for that yet. I don't want to screw up my story, so should i start out by writing a simpler story about a Danish ancestor of mine, in order to gain more experience before I start my big story?

  • I'm a bit of a grinder. Novels are very long, and long novels are very, very long. It's just a hell of a lot of man-hours. I tend to just go in there, and if it comes, it comes. A morning when I write not a single word doesn't worry me too much. If I come up against a brick wall, I'll just go and play snooker or something or sleep on it, and my subconscious will fix it for me. Usually, it's a journey without maps but a journey with a destination, so I know how it's going to begin and I know how it's going to end, but I don't know how I'm going to get from one to the other.
