Is writing a social or individual practice

Writing is both social and individual practices. It can be social because whatever you write about can come from other idea's. What people write about comes from something socially. By this I mean that people write about things that goes on in the world. People write to respond to other people, to describe other people/things,etc. I think that anything that is written is about someone or something in one way or another. Writing can be an individual practice because there is only one person doing the writing. The way idea's are presented, the rhetoric used and the style of writing comes from the individual. How the point gets across comes from the individual as well. It can be individual because writing can express the way one is feeling. Writing is both social and indivdual.
