RE: Improve your Writing (Plagiarism)

in #writing7 years ago

Given that there is generally very little truly original content on the planet it's pretty hard to not create content in a similar vein to something that has already been done. I've lost count of the times I've thought I'd come up with a brilliant concept, started writing and then looked on the web for some references only to find someone had already written the piece I was working on.

The trick is to pull those paragraphs apart and completely rework them in your own words and point of view.

Sort:  

Mmmm yes this is a great suggestion, I would still cite the source where you pulled the paragraphs apart. Better safe than sorry.

Yeah, good point. Only issue I can see with that is you could end up citing the whole piece of work. LOL

Having source links at the bottom is a great idea if you have been using other sources to get the information you have written about
