Update October 2009: Just wanted to let you all know I'm still out there and alive. I have been really flattered that some people have sent me a few messages asking about "Proximity" and when they are going to get an update. First of all, wow I really appreciate that someone out there likes it enough to want another chapter, and secondly, taking the time to send me a message. So I won't be rude.

I will let you know that I am working on the next chapter of "Proximity" and know that it is turning out to be a favorite of mine to write; right up there with Chapter Four. I have always kept it in the back of my mind but the past few months have been very busy in RL and have just not had a lot of time to devote to it. Things are going to settle down a bit so that will help, I'm hoping to have it done by November. I've been traveling every other week or so for a half marathon, a friend's wedding out of state and now family has been visiting for the past week and a half; in addition to working a few weekends to trade a few weekdays off to stretch out some weekends has left me little time but time for cleaning the house between trips and family visits...whew!

Long story short: I am still working on "Proximity" and do have every intention of completing it. I apologize it has been a significantly long ammount of time since I've updated. But I do plan on doing so. Thanks again or reading!

2009 SUPERMAN MOVIEVERSE FANFICTION AWARDS NOMINATIONS

Best Overall Short: Frantic, Best Fluff: Anchovies on Pizza and Proximity, Best Angst: Redemption, Best Humor: Frantic, Clois Romance: Proximity, Best overall Author. Those were the categories that made the final nomination list, however I didn't win anything, but that's alright! I never started writing or started posting things I've writen with the intent to win anything, just for people to read it and share their thoughts. So thanks to everyone who ended up nominating me anyway! Most importantly, congrats to those fine authors who did win!

About me in general:

I'm a late twenty-something who moonlights as a writer. Gosh it would be nice if I could do it for a living, but what can I say? I'm a realist.

Currently I'm a Georgia Peach in Atlanta but the windy city of Chicago has bragging rights of being my hometown. Ok, maybe they don't brag about me, but you never know... right? Maybe someday they will. Hmmm. Probably not. Anyway, I digress.

I have been captivated by the Superman genre since I was a little girl. Perhaps we're all still children at heart, I'd like to think so and maybe that's why we all know and love this character so dearly. So curl up with a cool drink in the shade (if it's hot) or with a steaming mug of tea and a warm blanket if it's chilly where you are and slip away into some fiction, whether it be mine or someone else's.

I truthfully hope that if you continue to read what I've written, that if you have the time, take a few moments to provide feedback. I do read them all...and probably will respond to you. Another sidenote: for those of you who have read my chapters and actually are looking forward to another (Belive me I'm supremely flattered if you feel that way), I post the new chapters when I can. I'm impatient yet perplexingly meticulous. I cannot stockpile chapters for a steady release, my impulsivity doesn't let me work that way. When the muse hit, it hits, when it doesn't...well, sorry.

I do selfishly enjoy the little flags that pop up in my email that are an alert to a review but truthfully, the reviews serve two important purposes: one, they give me an idea what parts of the plot people are enjoying, and second, they provide some constructive criticism.

Thanks again to all of you out there who actually read my scribbles. These days with the world's economy practically in the toilet, we are all in need of some escape from reality of the world around us. An escape from the duldroms and mundane is why I write, and perhaps that's why you read. I do geuinely hope to provide a little escape from the stressors of every day life at least for a little while.
