What is writing

The coolest thing I have made was a clock. This was in middle school in my woods class. I took this as an elective just for fun. I thought this was pretty cool because I am not the most creative person, but this was something I thought was pretty creative. It still works and I gave it to my dad and he liked it. The most interesting thing I have made was this scooper thing. My friend and I were really bored so we took a flashlight, a broom, and a dust pan and we duct taped them together to make it a cleaning thing she could use in the dark. I don't think she ever used it but it was pretty interesting.

I feel this is partially writing. For my clock, I designed it with pictures and designs that I liked and that represented me. Because of these designs and pictures, it is a form of writing because it expresses who I am in a visible aspect and not in words. The cleaning thing my friend and I made wasn't really writing in my mind. I don't think it communicated or did anything to express something that was intended. It had no meaning and no specific point that we were trying to be made.

I would define writing as anything that has an intended audience with an intended message that is trying to be showed. Writing can be verbal or non verbal.
