the.com/writer

someone who stares at a wall and calls it work, then bleeds onto a page.

means A person who composes written workbooks, articles, stories, or scriptsespecially as a profession or calling.

from From the Old English 'writan,' meaning to scratch, score, or cutbecause before ink and paper, writing was literally carving marks into wood, stone, or bone. The 'writer' was first a scratcher of surfaces. The word is related to Old Norse 'rita' and German 'reissen' (to tear or rip), keeping that sense of dragging a sharp point through a resisting surfacewhich any writer facing a blank page will tell you still feels accurate.
