In Reply to: Mel is OLD????? posted by Margi on February 29, 2000 at 22:39:37:
Wyatt's age is 25, and so I am not saying that Mel Gibson is OLD, but a little too old for the part - knowutImeen? (Sorry, but you may notice my grammar and stuff to lack here lately, as I am so FREEking tired of being proper, and when writing a novel, you must be proper and have the right punctuation and all that jazz. My brain is frying.)
I am currently on Chapter two and by chapter four he should be getting a few full-blown attacks. I am taking it slow as to develope characters and give them depth - instead of just a small idea of who they are. I want people to feel this book, as most who read it will have no clue as to what an actual cluster feels like; and they may never have loved on who deals with this - so they will not know what its like to be a supporter or, co-sufferer (As some people hurt emotionally seeing a loved one in such agony.)
Trying to be true to life on this. Hopefully expand public knowledge of this wretched disease. What do you think of the idea of submitting it for consideration to Oprah's book club?
Love ya,
Carl D
