Brytni_Marie: Question to anyone that can possibly help me. If I post something, and then change some things in it (if I make corrections from other people's helpful comments), can I re-post it to be re-reviewed? THANKS! |

Brytni_Marie: A new year...a new chapter. Please read and comment. Also, please make the comments positive and not demeaning :) the comments from the prologue were wonderful and helpful. Thanks! |

Brytni_Marie: ok everybody! I have a question...it might be a dumb one, but I really do not know the answer and any would be very helpful. Can someone "steal" your work if you post things on here? |
||
And remember, always keep a digital copy of anything you post, as it can serve as proof of who wrote it and when. Does it still happen? Sure. People plagiarize (steal) other writers' stuff all the time. And that's why we have lawyers and courts... - | ||
Additionally, if you find your work plagiarized, and can prove it was yours, the only thing at that point is you can legally stop them from claiming it. If someone stole your work and made lots of money, and you want financial compensation from them, however, you would have needed to take the extra step of copyrighting it through the feds before it's stolen. That can get expensive. I've only heard of one case recently involving a very successful author, and he did manage to win recompense for the theft. - | ||

Brytni_Marie: I'm shocked at how some people post things every single day and I have yet to post one thing...lol. How do you all post so much writings? Is it just piled up somewhere from past years of writing and you just post one of them everyday or is there specific time you set aside to post? I need pointers :) |

About your previous post, enter the contests don't worry if what you writing isn't perfect there are plenty of kind and helpful reviewers who will help you tweak your work before the deadline for the contest. If you need further inspiration, the first story I have ever shared with the public has just won a contest. Plus if you're paying for your membership you may as well post something to get the benefit of spending the cash. Good luck I'm sure whatever your write will be great. If not after a few reviews you'll start to learn how to make it great. Ignore the star system on the site, it can be a distraction. Come on post! I'm even going to become a fan so that you'll be guaranteed a reader! - | ||

Brytni_Marie: Okay, so I've been thing about entering one of the contests....and I must say that I am very nervous. I haven't entered a writing contest since the 8th grade. Even though I did fine I guess I'm just nervous about not creating my best work. I'm not a fan of rejection or bad reviews when it comes to my work. What should I do? Go for it maybe?? |

Just write, dammit! The rest? Fahgedddaboudit! - | ||
