What's astounding to me is that she attended the Iowa Writer's Workshop which is the most competitive and prestigious writing program in the country. How someone that is obviously talented in their own right could frick up their life in such an astoundingly stupid way is beyond me. Why even do this? Paraphrasing isn't plagiarism, why not do that? So many questions.

What a dumbass lmao.

Maybe she got through the program with plagiarism (or maybe a random Twitter user is making stuff up)

Even getting in in the first place is a huge deal. Perhaps she plagiarized her way into the program to begin with? I just don't understand why someone would want to be a writer when they seem to have a pathological need to...not write?

Get a different hobby job if you can't help but steal other peoples' work. It's not like you'd ever truly get away with it in the internet age anyway. So fricking weird.
