May. 24th, 2014 01:09 amgrump grump grouch grouch grump. Excited about a story. Want to write the story. Have to go to bed now in order to not be sleep-depping all over the spring cleaning in the morning.
Also, want to quote a thing in the story, a thing that is reportedly by Ambrose Bierce in 1885, but it seems to actually originate, not in Bierce's Devil's Dictionary or Cynic's Word Book ("Hers. pron. His." *sigh* still true), but in the 2001 Unabridged Devil's Dictionary, which contains much material that Bierce somehow overlooked. I wanted the quote to be public domain by reason of Bierce died in 1914. Woe is me.
Probably going to go ahead and quote it anyway, because it's only maybe fifty words and that's got to be fair use. But how in hell do I attribute it, since its actual author seems to be attributing it to Bierce? I've got the book on hold at the library, maybe its copyright page will be helpful....
