Fellow Writers, Have You Ever Plagiarized Yourself? / myLot

Have you ever written something original, and then plagiarized yourself later? I actually have. For example, sometimes, when I have a blog & then delete it, I will "recycle" some of my best posts from that blog to a new one. I personally don't think there is anything wrong w/a writer plagiarizing/recycling THEIR OWN work. Now actually stealing from other writers is a whole other situation.

Sometimes I do that myself....I don't think there is anything wrong with it as long is it is your own work!

No I don't think there's anything wrong with that! It's still your work doesn't matter how many times you use it. But someone else's is a different story.

I call it upgrading to change or editing to making my own work more understandable and more useful.
