‘It Didn’t Look That Way in My Head’ panel at #sdcc2018
(See that #TimesConvert??!! 💜)
Moderator accidentally says that Deb is a professor at UCLA 😱 (Don’t worry, Deb’s contingent gently corrected him 😆)
Current project and what brought you to #SDCC2018? Deb: Times Convert, out on Sept 18, tries to answer Q what does it really take to become a vampire? 3 interwoven narratives, Phoebe’s transformation almost day by day; Matthew and Diana’s twins, and Marcus Whitmore
Experience w books being adapted for screen Deb: Process has been long and a challenge and learning experience. Reminded just how diff it is when it’s not your field of expertise. I was a student again. Exciting and terrifying. Used to being the expert.
Deb: Had to learn a rhythm. Best moments were those were most highly collaborative. Moments where you’re at tea station and have casual convo w props person who did genius bookshelf of set just left. How many ppl were slogging their guts out to make this
Is Adaption something you think of as you’re working? Deb: no. Not at all.
Deb on the detail of set design asking Qs: “would they use a blue pencil or is red better?” You’re thinking... I don’t know!
Actor in mind while you write? Deb: I try really hard to not do any of that. Anyone I possibly could have imagined for any roles would have aged out of the parts by now. (I wrote these in 2008.) I’m def not casting either.
How did you manage everything? Deb: I need to write first thing and I tend to write longhand because it doesn’t require ritual of where is the outlet, charger? Before I start thinking of that, I get out a notebook and pencil and a cup of coffee and I make myself sit.
Deb: If I can get 4 pages down, or 1 line of dialogue, then I can go to my day job and I’m ok. Longhand is amazing how it lowers the stakes. Bullet journals for the win!
Hardest part of writing process apart from actually writing? Deb: moments when you yourself lose confidence in what you’re writing. Happens to all of us. We need to have those doubts. That’s what makes the writers ppl who can push thru those self doubts.
