Someone just informed me that there’s an author who has copied not only the FORMAT of my "bio", but even mirrored the way I write in my "location".
Whoever you are, consider this a call-out, not out of anger, but out of principle. I know some might see this as a small thing, but for me, it speaks to something deeper: the importance of authenticity.
Your words, your style, your presence, they are meant to be yours, not borrowed or shaped from someone else's identity. Copying might seem harmless at first, but it robs you of the chance to grow into your own voice and story.
We all start somewhere, and inspiration is natural, but there’s a fine line between learning from others and imitating them. Respecting someone else’s work is part of maturing, not just as a writer, but as a person.
I hope you take this as a chance to reflect, not as an attack, but as a reminder that originality will always matter more than imitation.
