Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.

Self-plagiarism is sometimes discouraged. We can't/ shouldn't write very similar things.
I think it's not in the sense that the work is yours...but it is in that you're not producing something original. One of those contradictions that's hard to balance out.
I'm in trouble if it is! Good thing Dharrsheena might point it out as I won't remember. I could edit it then.
hope not- sometimes old thoughts just keep coming out in a story
That seems more like a redundancy to me. A true redundancy to me. Like, to me, that's more of a repetitious redundancy than plagiarism. But I probably stole this comment from someone else. 🤷⚡
Umm in school they count our previous work turned in to other classes as plagiarism. But I'm not sure.
I have no idea but I hope someone comes up with the answer to that!
Excellent question!!!
In the freelance writing business, it can be. Great question, though.
That is a good question
