This is the type of writing I&#8217;ll be doing the most of in my professional career, as I am beginning law school in the upcoming semester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">However, I still enjoy creative fiction writing the most of all these and I intend to continue writing fiction pieces on the side throughout my career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I chose &#8220;Green Vein&#8221; to represent my fiction writing in this portfolio because I feel it is the most representative of my writing style, the themes and the people I like to write about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I am very excited to see where writing takes me in the future.
