I woke up to the very upsetting news that Kelly Preston, actress and wife of John Travolta, has passed away. Apparently she has been "silently" battling breast cancer for two years. She was 57. Travolta must be devastated...

patgalca @just4him Yes, my book is character driven, as is Barclay's book, in my opinion.

patgalca Since Travolta is in Scientology I believe she stepped back and let him have the spotlight and it is possible she received no treatment for her cancer, which is why they kept it secret. She does have a lot of acting credits though.

On my review for the last novel I read (I Am Not Me) I said I had tabbed a lot of quotes and that I would probably use another post for them. This is the first quote I tabbed. [i][/i]"...Darling, I just want you to love me,...

patgalca Surely his movies must have been seen there. Grease really boosted his career but he started on television in the 70's in comedy called "Welcome Back Kotter". His wife was also an actress though not of the same scale. She devoted more of her time to raising...

patgalca It is even sadder when someone dies at such a young age... the age I am now actually. Brings things into perspective.

patgalca I didn't consider any of the comments on the Twitter discussion attacking. They were being honest as a result of their own experience. I will keep going and hopefully pick up the pace. I just have to keep the comments in mind as "Don't let that stop you but...

This song is over twenty years old now, but the message is timeless. To often we are quick to judge, to make assumptions. Mark Wills hit the ball out of the park with this one! https://youtu.be/FVjbo8dW9c8

patgalca I hadn't heard that song in a while and I don't think I ever really paid attention to the words. Unfortunately, it is a timeless song because we're still dealing with these issues.

Though I suppose I could just say another dream since all of my dreams are quite strange. This is another one that I seem to only remember splices of. I woke up several times before actually getting up, so that's probably...

patgalca @ScribbledAdNauseum To me, emotional and physical are the same thing in this instance. Or, better said, we've been going through both. We're in the same boat, my dear. I hope we can figure things out.

patgalca @ScribbledAdNauseum Well, I can relate to that. We all have been locked up in our homes for some period of time or another. For me it's been 23 years with this illness (though I was getting out). Now my only trips are to the grocery store when someone else...

patgalca My psychiatrist told me that dreams are our minds working things out during sleep time. Sometimes there is nothing to them but a lot of times there are messages there.

patgalca Thanks for that. I know when getting feedback from beta readers we should take criticism with a grain of salt unless the same comments are made by multiple people. I guess I won't know until I start querying. I do have a list of agents prepared, just have to...

patgalca Happy to see you had a good day. I can understand why you are so exhausted though. I couldn't do it. But then again, I'm probably twice your age. Good luck with future days on this endeavour.

patgalca It sounds like you are lacking confidence towards a project you have to do. Like if you are getting ready to do a presentation or a reading or query an agent (see my last post), you might subconsciously be scared. This is simply my translation of the dream....
