Anna Erishkigal is an attorney who writes fantasy fiction under a pen-name so her colleagues don't question whether her legal pleadings are fantasy fiction as well. Much of law, it turns out, -is- fantasy fiction. Lawyers just prefer to call it 'zealously representing your client.' . Seeing the dark underbelly of life makes for some interesting fictional characters. The kind you either want to incarcerate, or run home and write about. In fiction, you can fudge facts without worrying too much about the truth. In legal pleadings, if your client lies to you, you look stupid in front of the judge. . At least in fiction, if a character becomes troublesome, you can always kill them off.

@AnnaErishkigal. Thank you so very much for the follow, Anna : )
@CarolynLorelle I shared it with my online writer's group.
Thanks for voting on 'How to Hit the Hot List' and sharing it with your group! I hope it proves useful to them!
I like to nurture young talent. It takes guts to put words down on a page and then publicly post it. They don't really teach fiction writing in high school ... or in college for that matter! I depend heavily on my own readers commenting on my free stuff I post to identify weak spots in my writing so I can fix them. It's good to see other people besides me giving solid, constructive feedback.
haha seems we were kind of on the same page on that story we just read.
