Writing is the communication of ideas using symbols (Crystal, 2003). Effective written communication is a two-way process. It presents the main ideas, details that support the main points, and coherent thoughts. Different forms of writing may vary in objectives. Writing is important as it accumulates and transmits information and knowledge across time and distance. It safeguards and conveys information across time and space, independently of human memory and limitations (Ong, 1982).
