Seems that even professionals get those attacks of nerves (and, Beth, you're right: It's OK, as long as the anxiety doesn't take over DURING the ''performance.'')<br />Keith: Honest, every word I wrote is true; but thanks for praising my aplomb .. I've always wanted to have that!<br />Lois: Thanks so much for the sweet things you wrote ... but do you think I have APLOMB? ;-)Deborah Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575491644343480392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-61946562865716305542012-01-04T15:40:21.501-05:002012-01-04T15:40:21.501-05:00You are the second person I know to appear on Toda...You are the second person I know to appear on Today. My other friend has been on multiple times and has lots of media practice and did great but I can honestly say you seemed less nervous.

Given the aplomb with which you carried off the interview, you didn't think we'd really buy that nervousness business? And the bit about not being able to get up from the chair just adds that last bit of verisimilitude which is so important in any work of fiction.Keith Raffelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926077627965529183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-57769365828370640882012-01-04T11:23:45.215-05:002012-01-04T11:23:45.215-05:00Fantastic job, Deb!

I couldn't remember a single line! Then my cue would come and I would walk on stage and perform the roll completely. I still have terrible dreams about being on stage and not knowing my lines.Darrell Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08394984700734588887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-12343554114997034782012-01-04T11:11:57.810-05:002012-01-04T11:11:57.810-05:00Deb, there was no way anyone could tell that you w...Deb, there was no way anyone could tell that you were panicked.
