Don't plagiarize. BUT good writing means more than avoiding plagiarism. At the Writing Center we can talk about *effective* use of sources!
Every time you write, you create an experience for your reader. What kind of experience do you want the reader to have?
Writing well isn't just about knowledge; it's about knowing how to make effective use of knowledge.
Today's Writing Center tip: Improve your writing by journaling. Like tweeting, but to yourself and longer. Like blogging, but only for you.
