2 books read today. That leaves 16 books. I hadn't accounted for the socialising I'd have to do over Christmas. Oh well.

A claim could be made that writer's responsibility does not exist; that writing is a creative outlet for the writer, and it's not their responsibility how their writing affects the people who read them. After all, writers can write what they like. However, this claim ignores writer power.

In addition, do writers have a responsibility to ensure that they are not negatively impacting readers and take care that the right lessons are being taught, especially if their target audience is impressionable?

Once the work of a writer is out of their hands, writers have minimal control over how others interpret their writing. Is it morally imperative for writers to make every effort to ensure that their writing has the intended impact?

Mothers are a national treasure.
