Jeremiah 5:24
"Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that
giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto
us the appointed weeks of the harvest."
There are times when we
read something that affects us so deeply, we want to share it with others. As
we write, we can’t help but let these wonderful words become part of our
manuscript.
But we have to be careful
that we are not stepping on the other writer’s toes. The fair use laws are in
place so we can quote parts of another author’s work without getting into legal
trouble.
We’ll also want to
identify the other writer and the work that so inspired us. It’s good
advertising for the other writer and will keep the integrity of our own work.
