Thanks Geoff and Everyone
Its Ok I was just confused, really it was the issue of copyright I was
having the confusion over. The material I'm writing has all been
written before, example, communication skills. I wasn't sure how I went
about writing that information without copying someone else's work,
guess because of deadlines, I was looking to cut corners.
Maggie gave me good advice when she said "That's writing with some
imagination and originality" which I guess is the biggest trick of the
trade *smiles* The lucky thing for me is I'm actually writing about
"writing" so I'm learning as I go and I have to write about copyright so
the research on that helped.
