The media, even writers, get accused of having an
agenda or being biased. But let’s face it, writers, we DO have an
agenda! Whether it is allowing our reader to escape reality for a
time, to prove our point of view, to scare the mess out of someone, or to make
our reader laugh, we do indeed have an agenda. I think that as
writers, our main agenda, or what should be our main agenda, is to allow our
readers the freedom to think for themselves.
It’s our job to help allow them to do that. As writers, we use our freedom of speech to
express ourselves, and in turn, our readers decide for themselves what they
think and/or believe of our writing.
Because of this, I believe that we writers have more power than we
realize. If you don’t believe me, just
think about how many times you hear someone say, "I read it on the internet, book,
magazine, newspaper, Facebook, journal, etc."
The bottom line is that words are extremely powerful and as words are
what we work with, writers indeed have power.
