Writing

Writing is a general term for marking or recording an idea, information, data, or concept onto a medium which is created for that exact purpose. Although, there are instances where writing does occur on a surface that was not necessarily intended to be written upon: graffiti for example is the act of "writing" on a public surface, usually in spray paint. Graffiti is not limited to paint, but can occur in pen, pencil, marker, chalk, or other implement.
