Anti Plagiarism Tools

Written by Sharon Hurley Hall on April 21, 2008 - 0 Comments
Filed as: freelance writing, writing, writing resources

Everyone’s heard of Copyscape, the super duper plagiarism detection tool.

My Desk Is Broken

Filed as: writing

My keyboard shelf is currently propped up against a wall. I’m typing with a keyboard on my lap. This takes me back to last year, when I moved into the house and was working under some unusual conditions. I’ve known this was coming for a while. The shelf has been hard to move and has [...]
