I have no words to offer which may comfort the reader who is also a castaway, except that rescue may come at any time but not necessarily when you expect it;
and that even if you give up hope, you must never give up trying, for, as the result of your efforts, hope may well return and with justification

Because I wrote a book called *Steal Like an Artist*, some people think I’m really interested in plagiarism. Actually, I’m much more interested in *forgery*.

“Plagiarism is the flip side of forgery,” wrote Andrew Potter in *The Authenticity Hoax*. “Forgers pass off their own work as that of someone else, while plagiarists pass off the work of others as their own.”

In other words: Plagiarism is taking credit for someone else’s work. Forgery is giving someone else credit for work you create.

The difference is you *doing the work*.
