My Copyright
I hate that I feel obligated to write this, but anymore, and with my experience with other websites of mine, I do feel the need to make this clear.
I may not have an official copyright, but you do not have the right to copy what I have written here. At all.
Copying a sentence or short paragraph is okay, as long as you either link back or just type the un-linked URL (kentuckybellestory.weebly.com).
Anything more than that, please send them here. They can read it straight from the horse's mouth... no pun intended of course. ;)
But seriously. I quote from this article on writer's rights vs plagiarism:

But seriously. I quote from this article on writer's rights vs plagiarism:
Copyrighting your work is probably the easiest part of writing, because your work is automatically protected the moment you write it down. You do not have to "register" a copyright for it to be valid.
If you're nervous, you can place a copyright notice on your material by putting the following information in the upper right corner of your document:
Copyright © 200X by (your name)
I don't have a right hand corner option on the web but at the bottom of each page here, including this one you'll find a copyright notice.
Please don't steal.
Note that being inspired by my work is not copying- if you are inspired by what you read, to write a story about a girl and horse, even a girl and a mustang horse, or a girl and a mustang horse and a dog, go right ahead. Just please make your plot and characters different. :)
Thank you for reading. ♥
