    A moment to remember an actor

    W. Morgan Sheppard was an actor who appeared in many genre movies and TV series. Star Trek, Doctor Who, Babylon 5, even anime voice acting. However, the role I best remember him for was in the 1980's TV series Max Headroom, where he played Blank Reg. Reg was an aging punk rocker running a tiny pirate TV station from a caravan parked on the outskirts of the city. He was one of the best characters

    Well, *that* month was hellish. Let's try not to do that again.

    Hi everyone,

    I'm alive, the car is fixed, the mortgage paid, and bank account looking a bit more positive. Let's hope I don't have to go through quite so much stress for the next few months at least. Which brings us back to the question I'm sure is on the minds of my small cadre of loyal readers:

    When the heck is the next chapter coming?

    What's the story, JD?

    Hi everyone,

    So, you're probably wondering what's taking so damn long with the next chapter. Well, to put it simply, life happened. I ran into a money crunch combined with a bunch of new expenses. I've actually taken to driving a ride share to earn extra cash, and it was working out really well...till the AC compressor in my car blew.

    Yes, I'm still alive.

    Hi everyone.

    I know you all haven't heard from me in a bit, but rest assured that I haven't dropped off the face of the Earth. I just had a whole bunch of grownup problems hit in the last couple of months and it's left me no time to do any writing.

    Just hang on a bit longer. Once I get through chapter 8, it'll get a lot easier for me in terms of moving the story along.

Merry Christmas, Everyone! No, I'm Not Dead! · 2:50am Dec 26th, 2018

Hi everyone. I just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and give you all an assurance that I'm not dead, and neither is my story.

I know, I know. It's laid fallow for months now, and I have a new appreciation for how easy it is to let that happen. The truth is that I was busy with work, busy with trying to keep my old car going, and then busy shopping for a new one. Oh, and along the way, trying to get the power company to figure out why the lights keep flickering in my home.

The thing is, the story I'm writing still wants to be told, and I can't get it out of my head. I think my main problem is that I've let the perfect become the enemy of the good, and lost sight of the slight detail that the readers who chose to follow my little tale of Starlight and Lulamoon would probably prefer to have a good chapter to read, rather than a perfect one that will never be written.

And so I'm going to try and devote an hour each day to adding to the story and break through this block. I made a promise nearly a year ago not to let the story die, and dammit, I want to keep that promise to you.

Heck, Summer Dancer eventually revived Daughters of Glimmer, and so [too shall i]Rebuilding advance.
