Writing Tip (and Warning): Your Words Can Live Forever on the Web

I'm a huge Anthony Trollope fan. I reread his Palliser and Chronicles of Barsetshire novels every few years — they reward rereading.

This week, the Anthony Trollope weekly quote was particularly apt for Web writers:

"The word that is written is a thing capable of permanent life, and lives frequently to the confusion of its parent. A man should make his confessions always by word of mouth if it be possible." (The Claverings)

Take this to heart. Anything you publish online is available globally, yes, even the stuff you post on Twitter and Facebook. If you don't want it repeated, don't write it online. :-)
