can't open file for editing

I've created a user and would like to an an alias to the .bashrc file, however when I use vi and write to the file the following is displayed:

".bashrc" E212: Can't open file for writing. Hit ENTER or type command to continue.

Entry within /etc/passwd for this user reads:
maqui:x:513:516::/home//maqui::/bin/bash
