I'm sure it is, but no.

No.

No.

No.

May I use your poem / post / article on my own blog / site / newsletter?

Yes, if it's a personal (i.e., not personal-as-your-brand) blog / site / newsletter! I release all of my work under a license that permits re-use based on the following conditions:

  1. You attribute it to me, Colleen Wainwright

  2. You do not use it to make money in any way, shape or form*

  3. Whether you remix, alter, or just straight-up use this content, you release it under the same license.

*If you have ANY question about what "making money" means, please ask me BEFORE using. It will save a lot of heartache on the other end. A link back to this site, http://communicatrix.com, is nice, too. Be nice!

Basically, I want whatever is helpful to people to reach as many of them as possible. But I do like seeing my name in print (plus it, along with a link, helps those who need it to find more helpful stuff), and really, I give so much away for free that it REALLY chaps my hide when I see people doing gross, funky stuff with my stuff to make a quick buck. (Be nice!)
