That's true.
But they don't think of saving as 'writing' either.
The writing part is what they've done with their
keyboard. An icon of a pen writing could be understood
to mean 'edit'.
When they save a document, they're storing /
preserving their work. Those are the things we need
to convey, which is hard as they're fairly abstract.
