Greg Knapp- Social or Individual

I believe that writing is both a social and an individual practice. I think that it all depends on who the writer is. There are some people out there who don't want other people reading their work; for instance someone who writes in a diary. These people obviously don't want other people reading their work and they keep it separate from the rest of the world on purpose. For those people who write for a social purpose, they want their work out there. These people write to be heard or to entertain people with their work. They write because they have a crowd or a certain audience to please. I know a few people who write on a sports blog, and they do so because they want other fans to read and respond. In the end, I believe that writing is whatever the writer makes it. Some people are more private, while others share their work with whoever wants to read it.
