What this blog's about . . .


Welcome to PlotTwisted!

I treat this blog as a sort of mental “toy chest.” Read on and you’ll find writing advice, rants, and random flash fiction. Comments are always welcome.

Copyright your stuff!

I know.  This seems obvious.

But you shouldn't wait on filling out copyrights on anything (of significance) that you write.  The link to the Library of Congress's copyright website is below:

Last I checked, standard copyright protection's still only a $35.00 hit to your credit card.  Pay attention to the instructions (different media have different sub-types of copyrights). 

And voila!  Some 3 - 7 months later, you'll get a copyright form from the U.S. government.  It's a good feeling to stack 'em up over the years.

This second link should help with any questions you might have: http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/

Easy-peazy.
