What's the point of having a writing forum if you can't share your writing without worrying someone, who claims to be a writer, will steal it? What happened to integrity?:

Where's this coming from?

Did someone steal your written work?

Hi, Cherryblossom92!

I too, would like to know why you're asking the question, please?

Thanks!

I've written millions of words over the years, and I don't think anyone has ever stolen them.

One of the things I find interesting in a writing class is how differently everyone will treat the same subject. Once we had to do an exercise where the teacher read out half a sentence, and we continued on. Every single person in the class had a different take on it.

What can happen is that several people come up with a similar idea around the same time, usually sparked by the same event, but it's very unlikely that any two will write about it the same way.

Hi, Eileen G!

Kind of like the mulitiple blind men feeling the different parts of the elephant?

Thanks!
