The Post Office stamp establishes when you had it completed/mailed to yourself. Plus, it's cheap. :)Angie Ledbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16407006980893727627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716443587185617804.post-88313736196554550352009-07-13T21:41:22.150-05:002009-07-13T21:41:22.150-05:00I would have to say I don't know enough to be ...I would have to say I don't know enough to be scared about it.

It was three years ago, right after I finished my very first novel. But now I've gone to the opposite extreme...maybe I let too many people read my unpublished stories... A good thing to keep in mind. Safety never hurt anyone. :)Katie Gansherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150375338556869812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716443587185617804.post-37825407645753759232009-07-13T19:34:52.380-05:002009-07-13T19:34:52.380-05:00I think I've been more concerned about the ste...I think I've been more concerned about the stealing of ideas than the actual story.

I talk about them so much in posts and comments there's now way to get rid of them now! I'm always paranoid. Especially after I sent my manuscript out to so many people. But I really do trust all of them. Still, the thought has crossed my mind a lot.Michelle D.
