“I tell my students, if you're interested in marine biology or llama farming, follow that string. Yes, it will probably take you a longer time to write that book, but it's not a race. That's another great thing about being a writer: you don't age out.” IfsWritingBookAgeRaceStudentsGreat ThingsBiologyStringsMarineFarmingMarine BiologyLlamas Author:Debra Dean
“One of the nice things about moving from acting to writing is that your work can be in the public eye without having to be in the public eye yourself. I guess that's not completely true. If you're lucky - and I have been - there are book tours and lectures. I don't have stage fright, and I enjoy meeting people, so that's easy and enjoyable, but it's not a constant, and it's not celebrity.” PeopleIfsWritingHas BeensBookEyeMovingEasyEnjoyActingNiceStageLuckyConstantMeetingsLecturesEnjoyableNice ThingsFrightPublic EyeStage Fright Author:Debra Dean

“I just can't fathom tweeting, and I'd rather spend my time writing a book than a blog, but I rather grudgingly agreed to a Facebook page. I had a brief, intense romance with Facebook. It's weirdly addictive, but anything that time-sucking is a danger for a writer who writes as slowly as I do. Now I post only occasionally and nothing very confessional. I think I'm carbon dating myself as I speak.” ThinkingWritingBookRomanceSpeakDangerPagesDatingIntensePostsMy TimeCarbonBlogsWriting A BookFathomFacebook Page Author:Debra Dean
