Zitat des Tages von Megan McCafferty:
Plagiarism has been around far longer than the Internet. In fact, I had a poem published in 'Seventeen' magazine when I was 15 years old. About a year later I was informed that there was a girl who used that same poem to win a statewide poetry competition in Alabama. It took months for people to put together that this had happened.
I've always been a writer. I hope to continue to write books until I can't anymore.
I have a very long pre-writing process where I'm jotting down ideas in a notebook and ripping out relevant newspaper articles - a long fact-finding mission.
I think the only way you can become a writer is through honing your voice, creating your own voice.
