What is writing?

We all know writing when we see it. Writing involves putting words on paper via a computer, pen
pencil or crayon. But writing is more than mere doodling.

When you write, you communicate a message to reader. Communicating in writing means sending
a message that has a destination.

The message of writing is its content. You can present your message in a variety of ways.

People write for a variety of reasons. People write to solve problems and to communicate with
others, but they write to look inward or to fulfil important personal needs as well.

FORMS OF WRITING

A writer’s style is a reflection of his or her personality, unique voice, and way of
approaching the audience and readers.

1. Expository- Expository writing explains or informs. It talks about a subject without giving
opinions.

Key Points:
 Usually explains something in a process.
 Is often equipped with facts and figures.
 Is usually in a logical order and sequence.

2. Descriptive- Descriptive writing focuses on communicating the details of a character, event, or
place.

Descriptive writing's main purpose is to describe. It is a style of writing that focuses on describing
a character, an event, or a place in great detail. It can be poetic when the author takes the time to
be very specific in his or her descriptions.

Key Points:
 It is often poetic in nature
 It describes places, people, events, situations, or locations in a highly-detailed manner.
 The author visualizes what he or she sees, hears, tastes, smells, and feels.

 Descriptive passages in fiction

3. Persuasive- Persuasive writing tries to bring other people around to your point of view.

Persuasive writing's main purpose is to convince. Unlike expository writing, persuasive writing
contains the opinions and biases of the author.
Key Points:

 Persuasive writing is equipped with reasons, arguments, and justifications.


 In persuasive writing, the author takes a stand and asks you to agree with his or her point
of view.
 It often asks for readers to do something about the situation (this is called a call-to-action).

4. Narrative- A narrative tells a story. There will usually be characters and dialogue.

Narrative writing's main purpose is to tell a story. The author will create different characters and
tell you what happens to them (sometimes the author writes from the point of view of one of the
characters—this is known as first person narration). Novels, short stories, novellas, poetry, and
biographies can all fall in the narrative writing style. Simply, narrative writing answers the
question: “What happened then?”
Key Points:
 A person tells a story or event.
 Has characters and dialogue.
 Has definite and logical beginnings, intervals, and endings.
 Often has situations like actions, motivational events, and disputes or conflicts with their
eventual solutions.
