Carolee Dean Revealed
Q. What is your motto or maxim?
A. What you believe shapes who you become!
Q. What’s your best quality?
A. When I'm writing I become hyper-focused which allows me to tune out a thousand distractions.
Q. Who is your favorite fictional villain?
A. Annie Wilkes from the novel MISERY by Stephen King. She tied up her favorite author and made him write an alternative ending to one of his books. I think she was misunderstood. Probably a frustrated writer.
Q. What’s your greatest flaw?
A. When I'm writing I become hyper-focused on my story and I sometimes forget other things... like sleep, food, exercise, the location of my car keys, and when I last watered the tomato plant. Fortunately, I don't forget my family. They're louder than the tomato plant.
Q. If you could eat only one thing for the rest of your days, what would it be?
A. Pepperoni Pizza - It's yummy, and it contains all the basic food groups.
