Plagiarism

I find plagiarism to be absolutely terrifying. I have actually woken up in the middle of the night panicking that I plagiarized. Maybe it is because I am such a perfectionist when it comes to my writing. I am not a perfectionist at any other time, believe me, you can ask my husband! When it comes to putting something down on paper, it becomes a forever thing. One person might read what I wrote or millions, but if I plagiarize then that is what people will remember. Not only that, I am stealing from a person I have never even met and I am discrediting my own work and selling myself short.
