FYI, plagiarism is cheating and it’s disrespectful. Writing is hard word and it should be respected. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking books, reviews, web articles, etc.<\/p>\n

It’s all writing and it’s hard.<\/p>\n

When you use somebody’s else words instead of thinking up your own, you’re playing dirty.<\/p>\n

There are very few people who’ve been marked off my list of reviewers, but if you plagiarize, ignore the problem like it doesn’t exist…and I know about it, you get on that list.<\/p>\n

This isn’t by any means a threat. It’s simple fact. I know<\/em> how hard writing is and I can’t, in good conscience, to give my books to people who can’t respect that. When you plagiarize, IMO, it’s an act of disrespect to all writers.<\/p>\n

People screw up. Some people might not fully understand what plagiarism is-granted, it boggles the mind to write that, because my 9 year old and 11 year old already grasp the concept. But plagiarism, plain and simple, (from M-W.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Definition of PLAGIARIZE<\/p>\n

transitive verb
\n: to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one’s own : use (another’s production) without crediting the source
\nintransitive verb
\n: to commit literary theft : present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s not cool. It’s wrong. If you’ve done this, the right thing to do is to remove those plagiarized works and apologize. Removing the works is the very least thing to be done. Want to start earning the respect you lose when you’ve done this? Then you have to apologize. Apologizing isn’t easy, but it’s the mature thing and the right thing to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
