Some characters become your friends for life. That's how it was for me with Betsy-Tacy.
Judy Blume
Image
Its all about your determination, I think, as much as anything. There are a lot of people with talent, but its that determination.
Judy Blume
Image
What I remember when I started to write was how I couldn't wait to get up in the morning to get to my characters.
Judy Blume
Image
I never thought about writing. I was married young, I was still in college, as we did then, and I had two babies before I was 25, and I loved them, and I loved taking care of them, but I was a little bit cuckoo, staying at home and not having a creative outlet.

The child from 9 to 12 interests me very much. And so, those were the years that I like to write about, when I'm writing.

I am not scared of you, I am scare of these feelings.

Something will be offensive to someone in every book, so you've got to fight it.
Judy Blume
Image
When I'm writing a book, you can't think about your audience. You're going to be in big trouble if you think about it. You're got to write from deep inside.

Kids should read whatever they want to read. So I'm hoping that just like 15-year-olds read Summer Sisters, I'm hoping that they'll read this.
Judy Blume
Image
The best books come from someplace inside. You don't write because you want to, but because you have to.
Judy Blume
Image
You've got to enjoy whatever you can and forget about the rest.
Judy Blume
Image
I wanted to write honest books for kids because I didn't have those when I was a kid.
Judy Blume
Image
I stop and think before I start a new book and ask myself do I really want to spend the next year or two or three with these characters because if I don't, then I shouldn't be writing about them.
Judy Blume
Image
Summer Sisters is probably my least autobiographical book. The whole idea started with rowing down the pond. And I heard an explosion. I don't like sudden loud noises. They scare me. And then all these people came running down the hill and jumped in the water in their finery and a bride and groom was with them, and that's where it all started.

We are friends for life. When we’re together the years fall away. Isn’t that what matters? To have someone who can remember with you? To have someone who remembers how far you’ve come?
Judy Blume
Image
I don't really know exactly how it happened but I don't like the idea that I would ever have said I'm going to write about racism or puberty or bullying.
Judy Blume
Image
First of all I can only focus on one creative project at a time. I wish I could focus on two, because I really only write.

I love to watch movies.
