    You don't need to actually "do" anything to copyright stuff you've written; its automatically copyright to you and you alone. However, if you want to be certain of your rights to the work, send yourself a copy of it, along with any notes you may have written during its creation or any research that you did, as a sealed registered post item, and DON'T OPEN IT at your end. This will serve as proof, should the matter ever be raised in court, that you created the work originally.

    If you want to make it real offical you could register your work with the American Library of Congress. It's ten dollars (or was when I looked into it). Anyway the link to it is below.
