There are many types of writing. An author could write fiction, nonfiction, documentaries, biographies and poetry. There are also many other forms of writing other than books, like letters, writing in diaries, newspaper and magazine articles, and manuals.
There are many interesting jobs a writer can have. Besides just writing books, there are news writers, speech writers, magazine articles, newspaper writers, travel writers, poets and screenwriters.
Each person’s writing is unique. It is only his or hers. It is a way of expressing feelings. When someone finishes writing something, it makes them feel good. They feel as if they’ve accomplished something. Writing really is artwork in written form.
The best part of all is that the written word lasts forever!
