Open the file in append mode:
local file = fs.open("path/to/file", "a")
if file then
file.writeLine("some random text")
file.close()
end
That way it will write to the end of the file, without deleting the previous contents.

Will it add a line?
Ex.
It writes "1"
then later writes "2"
will the file it writes look like
1
2
or will it look like
12
?

If you use writeLine it will be in a new line, if you use write it will be in the same line.
