Social or Individual?
I think that writing can be a social or an individual practice. It really just depends on who the audience is that you are writing about or the topic your are writing on. Overall, writing is more of an individual practice because when you write it is usually your thoughts. it is a lot more easier to write by yourself rather than with other people. Writing usually consists of your thoughts and the way that you want things to be without anyone else's input. Since writing is more of your thoughts it is really not so much of a social practice. It can be a social practice because you can do so many things to write as a group or even peer review would be considered a social practice. I think this because if you are doing it this way then you are getting other peoples ideas to make your writing better.

Inteteresting post, Kaitlyn. You're certainly right in that anything we compose is a product of our thoughts - but consider: where do our thoughts come from?
