Important notice: plagiarism
Overnight Love
Hi my dear subscribers & my fellow family of writers. This is Not an update but something really important and I hope all of you will take the time to read this because its something that I feel strongly about.
Just a while ago, one of my subscribers alerted me to the situation where someone had plagiarized an entire chunk of one of my chapters. I almost couldn't believe it, but when I double checked, it was indeed exactly the same ): I won't lie to all of you and tell you guys that I wasn't upset. As someone who loves writing, i truly take pride in every word typed, even if the chapter turned out less than my expectations. However, I have to say that i cant even be fully angry, because I am so thankful and touched knowing I have people who feel strongly about my work enough to feel worked up on my behalf. To all of you, I love you guys more than you can ever imagine.
I've thought about what to do about this whole thing, and even talked to some fellow writers because I truly don't know how to deal with a situation like this. However, I've decided that I'm not going to report this user. Purely because as a writer myself, I understand the desire to write about something we dream about, and to have others love your work. Though you may have gone about it the wrong way, I do not for a moment Doubt that your intentions are good. You know who you are, and as a writer who has been privileged enough to have met the sweetest, kindest and most supportive readers, I don't want to deprive you of this wonderful experience. I just hope you'll reflect and decide what to do with your work.
Sorry for this really long post everyone (': and for bringing the mood down... On a happy note, look out for an update tonight. Sending love to all of you whom I can always trust to have my back (:
