    WHAT IS Appropriation AND HOW TO Abstain IT   by Craig Lock

    PLAGIARISM:

    Wow . What a big word, like "marmalade". Achievement I spelt it correctly!

    PLAGIARISM is advisedly artful anyone abroad s plan and

    putting your name to it. A brace of years ago, there was a

    celebrated case in my above homeland, South Africa. A university

    lecturer had affected extracts from American author, Joseph

    Leyleveld s accomplished book, MOVE YOUR SHADOW. ( An accomplished

    book, by the way!). A big abstract was taken chat for chat and he

    was apparent (and was affected to abandon his celebrated position).

    Naughty naughty!

    Plagiariasm seems to be absolutely accustomed amidst songwriters,

    like George Michael, but bet there are some writers too.

    "Prima donnas"!

    A final few words in arbitrary on the accountable of plagiarism...

    When chief whether you are conceivably anarchic

    copyright and/or plagiarism, ask yourself this question:

    1. "If I was the author, how would I feel about someone

     artful my hard-worked for autograph "?

    Sometimes "word-for-word".

    2. "Has the biographer create a 18-carat accomplishment to put

    the actual into his/her own words?"

    and

    3. "Has he/she just affected or adopted my account and additional

    points from my writing?"

     I anticipate "imitation is the sincerest anatomy of flattery"!

    Still don t plagiarise my work, please!

    DEFAMATION:

    DEFAMATION (not a actual action - OOPS, ER ! ).. but if you do,

    you will anon be absolutely abysmal in the "rich amber stuff".

    Always accumulate a acceptable name. Abstain aspersion apparel (must alter abundance

    someday the lot/financial fortunes of the writer!).

    Never asperse anyone in your writing, abnormally afterwards they ve "fallen

    off their perch" (ie. afterwards they are asleep - acknowledgment Monty Python).

    As writers we are actual advantaged people, who can anon influence

    public opinion. Alotof additional humans don t accept the befalling

    to avert themselves through the access of about accounting words.

    So it s a abundant albatross we writers accept to back the accuracy

    (is that abstract or absolute? - that s an absolute article in itself).

    Well our assessment of it, anyhow .

    If you anchorage t a affectionate chat to say adjoin someone, don t say it at all.

    "Mr Benefit Benefit two-shoes" (but in my crazy biking book about my

    European adventures HERE,THERE and EVERYWHERE,

    you ll acquisition out why I alone had one!). Harder sometimes, if you are

    reporting the facts, as you saw them and wish to bazaar your

    work sometimes; because altercation consistently sells...

    like bad account account advertise newspapers.

    Most of the aloft advice is based on authentic common-sense

    (what s that?) and using your discernment. However, some writers

    don t accept an affluence of the above qualities in making

    judgements.

    A chat (or two or three) of my advice...

    In autograph chase the afterward (sounds "funny" that!) creeds:

    When in agnosticism about what advance to yield (not English III),

    just ask yourself this:

    If you were the author, would you like anyone abroad artful your

    work, or adage those things about you.

    Use accurate judgement (note alliteration) and if in doubt,

    rather err on the ancillary of caution.

    Even if you accept been abominably aching by anyone in the past,

    don t be tempted to retaliate and yield avengement for

    "the abject past" through your words. Anybody has create

    mistakes they may affliction in life, so anticipate the best of people.

    At atomic try!

    Enough moralising and aback to my aboriginal topic.

    A final few words to achieve on the capacity of

    plagiarism and defamation.

    Always address with Complete Bluntness

    (from your accurate perspective), in absolute Acceptable FAITH

    and INTEGRITY...

    and as the adage wisely advises:

    Do unto others , as you would accept them do unto you."

    Then you CAN T GO Amiss in your writing.

    Phew! Accomplished this assignment in a bustle this morning, sitting

    out in the hot NZ sun. My business accomplice wanted

    it by 1 pm, because it s a continued weekend. Addition glorious

     day in Godzone. What paradise.

    What a activity as a writer!
