Public notice to my readers
I have no idea what “unconscious” plagiarism is, but I should like to make a few things clear right now.
- I am writing a “chick-lit” novel.
- I am not lifting passages from any other writer.
- It will have a much shorter title than that teenaged plagiarist did. So far, it is exactly two words long. (”Road Trip.”)
- I seriously doubt I will get a six-figure book contract out of the deal.
- I will probably put the first few chapters online. When they’re ready. We are far from that point right now.

Come on, Meryl.
Write the first chick-lit book with giant lizards, zombies, and car crashes. You’ll double your readership.

However, 1000.00 is also a six figure amount.

In a gripping tale of survival, a mother and her daughters survive the nuclear war brought about by Democratic neglect of America’s defenses by eating their cats, raw, and stitching their pelts into coats.

When it comes to chick-lit, I like the miniatures.
