Before making my last post I thought deeply on the topic and came to a final decision on “What is multimedia writing?”. My answer to “What is multimedia writing?” has not really changed at all since my last post on the topic. Taking into account my previous definition of multimedia writing, or more precisely my belief that it is only a subdivision of multimedia composition, I would say that multimedia text and multimedia writing are the same thing.

Well, that is if I am to take the word ‘writing’ as a noun, then I believe that a ‘text’ is the same thing as a ‘writing’. A text, or writing, is any form of composition that uses a physical, textual media to transfer thoughts and ideas. As I stated before in a previous post, pictures and audio recordings are still a form of multimedia composition, however, are not a form of multimedia writing, but instead are examples of illustration and non-textual media based composition respectively.

If I am to take the word ‘writing’ to be a verb or action instead of an object, then I would say that the two terms multimedia writing and multimedia text are slightly different. Multimedia writing would then be the process by which a multimedia text is composed, and a multimedia text would follow the same definition as above.

I realize this is quite the redefinition compared to the abstract pseudo-definition that has been proposed in class on a number of occasions, but this is what I have come to believe multimedia writing to mean.
