Plagiarism vs Inspiration
Inspired writing becomes plagiarism when the borrowed material is not significantly altered or is used without proper acknowledgment. Even if the law permits certain uses under the Fair Use Doctrine , institutions may still treat them as academic misconduct. Ethical writing requires that students both credit their sources and reshape ideas in a way that reflects their own critical thinking.

The Psychology of Your Brain and Writing
When I was a little girl, I remember chasing after my older sister to make sense of the squiggly marks on paper. Long before my school days, I could already read and write. At first, simply scribbling my name felt like a huge achievement. With time and practice, what once seemed like a challenge for me became second nature. Back then, I had no idea that the brain—my favorite organ in the body—is not a muscle, although, in some ways, it develops like one. As I discovered my fascination for the science of mind, I realized that the more we challenge ourselves, the better our brain adapts to performing tasks like writing. But what exactly happens in our brains when we write? How can we organize scattered thoughts, or spark inspiration? By understanding the brain's role in writing, we can tap into the underlying cognitive processes that shape creativity, clarity, and coherence, making writing more effortless.
