Legal writing is highly specialized, and as you correctly note, requires strict attention to detail. The technique however, is worlds apart from fiction writing- facts are told (not shown), with minor details either summarized or omitted. They are woven into the law after the law itself is laid out, point by point. The arguments are outlined, organized so the reader (I.e., the judge) is told what s/he should decide via the power and logic of the advocate. Obviously fiction has a different goal, and the reader isn't led along a path that lacks color and nuance... I must say, though, that your comment reminds me of how, as a lawyer, I am driven -- seriously driven -- to research EVERYTHING! And that is something that has stood me in good stead for writing fiction. If research isn't done, the scene, no matter how fantastic, will lack credibility. I think that's where my legal training really gave me an advantage in terms of wanting to be certain my scenes, and even dialog and inner thoughts, were correct. I wish you the absolute best in proceeding with your own work! I hope you find this blog helpful! All the best, TerriTerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04439479882563807485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-431990121321027556.post-4388594308640251452014-02-27T20:05:24.448-05:002014-02-27T20:05:24.448-05:00Really interesting to draw the comparison between ...Really interesting to draw the comparison between legal writing and writing fiction. It has been surprising to me to learn over the past six years (about how long I've been serious about writing) that being really, really smart and successful in a top field does not automatically qualify one to be smart and successful in writing fiction. In other words: that fiction is a craft, like anything else, and really must be studied and learned in order to master. That said, I can not but believe your years of discipline in the area of legal writing have helped you get to where you are now. My background is in technical publishing, where the meaning of single words can make an enormous difference; the presence or absence of an article or preposition can affect an entire procedure. I'm guessing this is even more true in legal writing. If there's one thing I've learned can help your fiction, it's attention to detail. A. P.

Having ...Thank you so much for your comments, Anon. Having no idea what New Mexico is like for matrimonial litigants or the divorce bar, I agree that this incident is a terrible reflection on all of us, not just the matrimonial bar. <br /><br />That said, your more sweeping condemnation saddens me. I wrote an answer to you that is so long, I've decided to write a separate thread. <br /><br />So, I thank you for provoking this conversation! I really do appreciate the opportunity to go through my own thoughts and analyze my opinions. <br /><br />In any event, this particular case and lawyer are revolting. We definitely agree on that!

The citizens of NM should demand a complete overhaul of divorce law in NM. Lawyers should be removed from the process or their role minimized to the role of securing data in a contested divorce. lawyers should report to a case mediator who replaces the role of judges. case mediators shoud be trained and regulated by the supreme court. they should be tested and certified to fill this role. they should deal directly with the litigants in all occassions, and only with lawyers producting specifically requested data when it appears one of the parties is not being fully compliant with asset and debt disclosure. <br />NM Citizens can't wait for our lawyer legislators to create a new decent system for divorce in NM. it will never happen. Some other body of non profite associations need to take the lead on this kind of issue and create a completely new system to take to the legislature at the earliest possible time.

I'm so happy for you and can completely identify with what you've been going through - except for the final triumph of getting an agent. Not there yet... I met you on-line on tnbw and then in person at last year's Query Roulette. Persistence, determination, willingness to learn and listen - you're absolutely right. Looking forward to reading your book. I hope the next part of the journey - selling it to a publisher- goes smoothly and not as long as the agent search. Your book deserves to be on the shelves in Barnes and Nobel! <br />LindaLinda Rosenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04737034884724532668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-431990121321027556.post-92051205190238764472013-11-15T04:25:27.423-05:002013-11-15T04:25:27.423-05:00Thanks so much, Yasir : )Thanks so much, Yasir : )Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04439479882563807485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-431990121321027556.post-22768745951023681002013-11-13T07:57:00.414-05:002013-11-13T07:57:00.414-05:00Congrats...
