Writer

A writer is someone who writes works such as books, articles, or poetry. Examples of writers are authors and journalists.

Before computers became widespread, writing required a physical instrument to write with and an physical object to write on. In the internet age, some forms of writing become more interactive or collaborative (e.g. blogs, fan fiction).
