--What is your most recent POV character's greatest fear?

Oh, that's pretty easy for Clark--I feel like the animated JL series gets it exactly right that his greatest fear is somehow getting mind-controlled or turning evil and running amok. It's why him giving Bruce the Kryptonite ring hits me so hard, that he trusts Bruce to keep his greatest fear from happening.

I've started working on another non-fiction piece! November and December are always rough, but the online magazine pitched me another idea and I couldn't resist it. I'm trying to get it done by Monday but that might be optimistic... How are things with you?

That's so damn true. And such a terrible fear to have as it's so very possible in a world full of superheroes.

Oh, that sounds very awesome about the magazine pitch! I hope that worked out and you had a good time with it. Good luck with all your non-ficiton endeavors.

Ah, well current character is afraid of dying but even more afraid of living in some way. He feels he has too much blood on his hands already and whatever he does - does he deserve happiness or will he just lose it anyway or make his loved ones suffer when fate finally catches up and he is killed.
