Collaborative writing on writing

Writing is a thoughtful collaboration of words used to express certain ideas or thoughts. Writing can consist of formal or informal ideas used to persuade, explain, express, or compare topics.  Your persona drastically shifts based upon your target audience because you would not want to talk to a child the same way you would have an intellectual conversation with your professor. Both ways of communication are important but you have to know when to use one over the other. For example, writing an essay is a formal way of conveying your ideas, whereas a text message is a quick and informal way of communicating your thoughts.
