Plagiarists Are The Serial Shoplifters of The Art Community
Introduction I am always worried that I will be called out for plagiarism. Sometimes I borrow quotes that have been borrowed and borrowed and borrowed, but I always try to credit sources if it is possible. The irony of this is that every time Vocal have knocked me back for plagiarism it is where I have credited the source.

Once There Were Nine, Now There Is One (For Me)
Image source here The text below is taken from Greek Mythology - The Muses. It is the reason for this poem along with a tenth Muse who is the one who inspires me to create every day. I believe everyone knows who that is and without her, I would not be writing.

Pussy Cats Galore
Cats, Cats, Cats and More Cats It is possible that “Pussy Cats Galore” will be seen as clickbait in this age of the double entendre which has been with us for hundreds of years, and the word Pussy has become almost a single entendre, though for me a pussy is a cat. I first came across the name Pussy Galore in the 1964 James Bond film “Goldfinger” based on the 1959 book by Ian Fleming.

Charlotte Gainsbourg - IRM
I first came across the name Gainsbourg when Charlotte’s dad Serge released “Je T’Aime . Moi Non-Plus” with Jane Birkin which was banned by the BBC for being too naughty. The music was quite pleasant but Serge was never bothered about stepping on moral toes, recording and releasing the song “Lemon Incest” with his daughter. There are several copies on Youtube if you want to investigate and it entered the French charts and number seven peaking at number two, It appeared on Serge’s album “Love on the Beat” in 1985 and Charlotte’s debut album “Charlotte Forever” in 1986.

Dipping My Toes Into Social Media To Promote My Vocal Stories
Introduction Actually, this is a story of abject failure. Maybe I am not intelligent enough (I only left school with a couple of “A” Levels, and never went to University). Or maybe it is just my extreme laziness and laconic writing style. I also generally don’t plan the stories I write, and again is that my laziness or lack of apparent intelligence?
