The text stаtes thаt creаtive writing can serve as an оutlet fоr a writer tо get thoughts and feelings out on paper. It also says that a narrative can make a person laugh or cry. How do these two purposes—internal and external—affect the writer’s responsibility to the reader? The internal and external purposes are separate and do not affect one another. A story written for catharsis will automatically be emotionally engaging for a reader. The external purpose of making a reader feel an emotion is only a concern for fictional writers, not for those writing nonfiction like memoirs. The internal purpose is private, but once the writer decides to share the narrative, they take on the public responsibility to use craft features and specific details to make their personal experience relatable and emotionally engaging for an outside reader. The writer is only responsible for the internal purpose of getting their feelings out, as the external effect on the reader is unpredictable.
