Plagiarism is good!

How many half-baked stories do you have? Instead of allowing them to go to waste, rotting away on your desktop, chop them up and use them for parts! Maybe you wrote a scene that had excellent dialogue. Well, rearrange it, switch out the names, and make it fit your new story. Why not? I do this all the time. I rarely let something I’ve written go to waste. I strongly believe in reusing, rehashing, rewriting, reviving, and rearranging old material. Remember, it’s old material to you but brand new to your readers.
