WRITING- social or individual practice?

When asked the question of whether writing is social or an individual practice I would have to answer by saying it could be both. I think it a social practice because many people use writing as a way of communicating to other people and a great form of interaction. People write by texting, emailing, instant messaging, and just plain old writing letters. All these are forms of writing in the social catagory. Writing can also be an indivual practice because of the fact that people do indeed write for their own enjoyment, or for a job. This is completely geared towards the individual themselves completely outside the social catagory. They may have to write because they have to or they may write because they want to. All in all, i beleive writing is both a social and individual practice depending on what the person is doing, and what kind of person it is.
