Explanations:
1: You may not have known, but we use the indefinite articles "a" and "an". These are both used the same way, however, if the word that comes after it begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, [and]u), then you are expected to use "an" (that is the only difference). If the word that comes after starts with any other letter other than "a", "e", "i", "o", or "u", you are to use the indefinite article "a".
You may see or hear Americans using "an" when the word after it is a consonant (any letter that is not a vowel), but it is wrong to do this (so don't do it!). It is important that you remember this rule if you want to sound literate.
2: You spelled the word "writing" incorrectly.
