Blogger is being persnickety today, I find.
I am all excited because I received permission to use the lyrics to a certain copyrighted song in my novel - Forget-Me-Not. I wrote the lyrics into the story without considering the copyright issue and was quite worried when I actually realized the process of obtaining consent. However, I fired off a letter requesting permission in mid-February and received the permission in Thursday's mail. Whee!
I really felt this song was integral to my plot. I could have rewritten it without the song, but it would have always felt second-best to me. Or I could have tried to write my own lyrics. LOL
There is another song I'd like to get permission to use, but it's not as central to the plot. I'll be mailing that letter on Monday!
