think like a woman ... act like a man
"AKA The Ruby Red Slipper Blog." Journal about her life and fledgling legal job. Much about her mixed-breed dog, Martha.
Author: "Anastasia," AKA "Ana," is a recent law school graduate. "How much of her blog is based in reality and how much of her writing stems from her imagination is a finding of fact that you, the reader, must determine." However, fair warning: "Ana is a fictional character. She’s flighty, neurotic, flirty, scathing, coy, sarcastic, cynical, and sometimes bitter. The inspiration for Ana is drawn from some of the author’s favorite fictional characters," including Scarlett O'Hara in Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind. By contrast, "the author is a quiet person who spent the bulk of her childhood hidden in her room with either a book or her daydreams. Unlike Ana, she wants to be a lawyer."
