Definition
书写 means "to write" but is more formal and often emphasizes writing characters by hand (e.g., calligraphy, filling in forms). It's more specific than 写 (everyday writing) and different from 写作 (composing literary works) or 撰写 (drafting formal documents). Use 书写 when focusing on the physical act of writing text/characters in a careful, standard way.
