Hello!
I believe a gerund is a "ing" word taking place as a noun. We can't be 100% sure, because it is not used in a sentence, it depends on how you use it in the sentence if it is a gerund or not. Overall, the word "writing" is not a gerund.
Hope this helps! ☺♥
You would want to write a thesis statement to sum up your essay or report in a simple sentence. It also provides an outline to the reader. It could also answer a question and is the main statement that your essay revolves around.
Three characteristics of a strong thesis statement are:
1) It is a complete sentence and not a question.
2) It makes a point or argues a position.
3) It is specific and to the point.
