RE: Life Is Not Fair (Original 50 Words Story)
idk that it does amount to plagiarism, but its really close. The line itself is famous.
As a writer, if you actually care about your content, you should avoid just copying from other work. You're using what's considered the most famous 6 word short story as your 'punch line'.
It's basically saying, "hey, I can't write. Here's Hemingway."
If you do care about developing as a writer, use original content. This is a 50 word flash fiction. 12% of it is a line you took from someone else.
Sir, I can assure you that this is a first time thing. You may go through my blog and rum a plagiarism check but I never copy other people's work.
In fact when I was being praised for the story, I was quick to point out that the idea isn't mine. I simply added a spin to it.
I've noted your comments and have made the necessary resolves to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Thanks for stopping by. I wish we had met under much pleasant circumstances
A spin? You changed 'shoes' to 'clothes' and removed the hyphen.
Just admit it. You thought nobody would notice you copied Hemingway.
Ask yourself this: if someone is 12% a fraud, does that make them a fraud?
First, I don't know what you want from me.
Next, I never claimed the original idea was mine. (In fact, I'm going to add that the original idea was from Ernest Hemingway; although some still dispute that.)
Third, I object to being called a fraud
