Very nice, par usual! ^_^
So you put the Courier up for an award? WOO! I'm so excited. I hope you get it. It totally deserves to win. And I can't wait for a sequel... though this new story sounds facinating! Definately want to hear that too!
I am still working on Dark Matter, it's taking a long time, but I've really gotten into creating the planets that surround the story--figured I'd plan them out and then use only what information is needed. But yea! I have to email everyone and ask them where they want me to start emailing chapters... Cause I write kinda sporatically... one chapter on part one, one chapter on part two... I am trying to fill in the gap, though, so hopefully it won't be too much longer... ^_^ hehe, but you know me!
TTUL! (ps.- I am no better than you are, u crazy phsyco! Though, your spelling is infinitely better than mine. ^_-)

I like this, especially "she caught herself". It gives some hope. Women may have their hearts broken, but it has to be very bad before we can't pick ourselves up (with some help from our friends natch.).
