Awh the infamous Jess2001... Sadly, it's only of late that I've become familiar with your thoughts and work Nevertheless, I'd like to pick your thoughts and get your take
Hi guys. You must have noticed that there is no blackmail in the version I wrote. This story is about Anna's mental transformation at a time when her life was turned upside down. I'd like to ask you with in the story's canon if you think Anna's desire for revenge is more an excuse to allow herself to tread on the dark path or is a tool she uses to make herself feel better. It's clear Anna "knows" David has cheated(sic) but holds out some hope David is guiltless. Still, I've always thought Anna was more invested in being married and the concept of marriage then being invested in David. As a side note, unrelated I've always held one can be married without the legal papers that says you are married and, legally married but not be married in spirit.
The feeling of revenge she felt for David's betrayal and Keandra's malicious encouragement bring out a dark side that is already in her nature. Excellent in my view that you are taking Mr. Palmer's outline of Anna's character and it's not others corrupting her but she herself is otherwise corrupted and flawed. It's a huge difference when you are discussing a character's motivation.
This situation unexpectedly creates a chance for the old fish who is normally way out of her league. And the old pervert who had been dying for such an opportunity all his life, uses some of his congenital physical and hormonal abnormalities to gives the hot lawyer experience physical and mental pleasures beyond her belief. How much of a plot problem might that be? Everyone knows that Chris and Jake make the most sense and is the most logical paths. I've always held there has to be a darker more insidious reasons with any old fossil would have a possibility with her. It's easy to see how Hank has a path toward Anna (being a boss, influencer to her future, a threat to her financial situation), but and I can be wrong, Mr. Palmer isn't going to go down that route by itself. So, that said would it be more a hidden kink in Anna's fantasies to be used and exploited like some bondage play?
As a result, no matter how hard Anna tries to resist, she completely surrenders to the dark impulses that are repressed somewhere inside her. So there is no blackmail or coercion. There is just a relentless war between the two of them. Dark-Light, Virtue-Corruption, Quality-Sleazy, Wisdom - Ignorance, Beauty-Ugliness... A past of repressed exploration and unfulfilled desires?
I'm writing a new chapter but I'm undecided about publishing. This may seem a bit extreme for some types
