Goodreads asked Debby Dodds:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Debby Dodds I was an actress for years. As an actress you need to audition to get roles. Even if you self-produce, it's all about asking people for things. To be creative as an actress, you need someone else's (sometimes many someone elses') permission.

Writing is more autonomous. I act all the roles/characters and feel all their emotions and am also the director and (obviously) the plot/story creator.

So...CONTROL! Haha! That's what I like! I'm finally beholden to nobody to practice my art.
