Do you ever fear your excerpts and story ideas will be stolen?
I’m just curious. I am an aspiring writer. I have seen many people post paragraphs and excerpts, some even with a synopsis and I am just curious if this is just a hobby or do people actually want to have these postings published one day. If you want to become published, don’t you think it is extremely risky to post your work online where anyone can steal your idea since it surely is not copyrighted?
I’m downright paranoid about that. I’ll barely even put my character’s names up anywhere, let alone a plot line or – heaven forbid – and excerpt.
My main reason for this, is because I know that if I see an idea that I really really like, I’ll often steal elements of it, and then just proceed to make them my own. And, truth be told, I don’t really want that happening with my story. To be a writer is essentially to be a thief, and if people are careless enough to put out entire globs of prose where anyone can read it, there’s no way they can complain if their ideas get stolen.
Or, at least, that’s how I see it.
