- | A writer may compose in many different forms, including (but certainly not limited to) [[poetry]], [[prose]], or [[music]].

- | Writers' output frequently contributes to the [[cultural]] content of a [[society]], and that society may value its writerly [[corpus]] -- or [[literature]] -- as an [[art]] much like the visual arts (see: [[painting]], [[sculpture]], [[photography]]), [[music]], [[craft]] and [[performance art]] (see: [[drama]], [[theatre]], [[opera]], [[Musical theater|musical]]). | + | |
