: If I mail a story to myself via certified mail does that constitute as copywriting something?

Dear Katy,

No. The copyright law covers the creation. Proper registration enables full enforcement. It is not complex nor expensive.

In court the certified letter to yourself, may be inadmissable as a self serving declaration.

Give us a call.
