And I love how you convey that very message - you are a wonderful writer. Thinking of you.<br /><br />ArlaArlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842175760029251137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318756985870843725.post-66085074430510524302009-09-25T22:29:03.868-04:002009-09-25T22:29:03.868-04:00A lot of producers like to "play the cancer c...A lot of producers like to "play the cancer card" to get a sympathetic backstory of a character. The runner up on America's Got Talen had cancer, and they mentioned it every week. It didn't matter because she had a divine voice but somehow, they think it makes people more interesting and sympathetic.<br /><br />So far, I'm only telling the Internet by blogging. :) And, people on a need to know basis.

Anyway, she says that many times, people who live with long term problems do tend to become their disease. Understandable, I think and probably very hard to NOT be that way. Blogging probably helps you stay out of that mind set. <br /><br />It is always good to read you - I'm glad you keep this up...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784210271549552844noreply@blogger.com
