The csv module deals in sequences; use writer.writerow() (singular) and give it a list of one column:

writer.writerow(['jgjh'])

The .writerow() method will take each element in the sequence you give it and make it one column. Best to give it a list of columns, and ['jgjh'] makes one such column.

.writerows() (plural) expects a sequence of such rows; for your example you'd have to wrap the one row into another list to make it a series of rows, so writer.writerows([['jgjh']]) would also achieve what you want.
