As you know, I've spent much of my life doing research, and the Internet has been a tremendous help. But it isn't the end. There are still things that must be found searching in books and other written material. Eventually, in come cases, I've absorbed so much from so many places it would be impossible to say just exactly where it came from. In that case, i feel free to rely on my knowledge. But just as in college, I feel that citing another source lends credence to whatever you are saying. It probably muddles it, legally.

I pick up a tidbit here or there on the Internet as I read and piece it together over time with other things. It's a challenge to locate and cite sources, but important. I'm learning. I hope that what I've learned can help you, as well. I am, by the way, trying to go back to some of my recent posts and add more information. Lynn Hopper: That's a good story--and a reflection of your excellent thinking/writing skills. One thing I wonder about is how much information is readily available on the Web. We no longer have to trudge to the library to look up material. It's right at our fingertips. Do you think that changes the situation? hopeannfaith: The process of researching this does have me wondering if I am doing enough.

But I recall a literature class in college in which several of us apparently wrote better papers than the professor anticipated, so he quizzed us very closely on whether or not we'd used someone else's material. When he got to me I answered very truthfully, that if I had taken the time and effort to go to the library and look up material, I would certainly have wanted to get credit for it! He understood.

I will be back to utilize these tutorials. As a wannabe real writer I, too, find it challenging to know if the information I have is my own. I often print out all of my research sources and have my husband compare what I have written to the research material, to insure I have not stolen someone's thoughts or words. I will definitely be using your post for ideas to be certain I am giving the credit to the right persons! Blessings, Andrea Thank you Ann. I will be back to utilize these tutorials.

So, I try it, tonight and it turns into a cracker...I used a stone--but I doubt a pan could have helped me...so I sat eating my pizza while staring at your pizza picture and it still didn't do it for me... ...I am curious--do you use a convection oven? if you could be so kind to tell me where I went wrong...my email address is paebo@comcast.net--thanks!!
