Writing isn't just "writing"

Recently I've been reading about different ideas on what writing is. How does one qualify the act of writing, and how would someone go about actually defining it. To me, as with most things, it's all in how you see it.

Two big things that have popped up, and what I'll focus my attention to, are what encompasses the aspect of writing, and to whom that writing is directed towards. Because these are the things that seem to start the most fights, and therefore most likely the most fun to talk about.
