F. Scott Fitzgerald is a short story writer famous for celebrating the Jazz Age during the 1920s. He is best known for his work on the Great Gatsby.
His muse, flapper girl personified, Zelda Sayre-Fitzgerald was quoted to have said : "i]t seems to me that on one page I recognized a portion of an old diary of mine which mysteriously disappeared shortly after my marriage, and also scraps of letters which, though considerably edited, sound to me vaguely familiar. In fact, Mr. Fitzgerald—I believe that is how he spells his name—seems to believe that plagiarism begins at home" (Zelda Fitzgerald: The Collected Writings, 388. This is taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F._Scott_Fitzgerald.
Be wary of becoming of would writers asking you to lend them your diaries, they might end up "plagiarizing" your life! xoxo lit gossip girl xoxo
