I am a big defender of 'Harry Potter,' and I think any book that gets kids to read are books that we should cherish, we should be thankful for them.

I've heard that some authors do dream their books and I would love that if it happened to me, but so far it hasn't. Sometimes I'll get a good idea during the night and if I don't write it down, I won't remember it the next morning.

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.

I can't let safety and security become the focus of my life.

our finger prints dont fade from the lives we touch

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
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.

The best books come from someplace deep inside.... Become emotionally involved. If you don't care about your characters, your readers won't either.

How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives.

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.

I loved to read, and I think any child who loves to read will read anything, including the back of the cereal box, which I did every morning.

Suddenly question number four popped into my mind. Have you thought about how this relationship will end?
Judy Blume
Image
There's no book or play or series or anything that speaks to everyone, because then it wouldn't speak to anyone.
Judy Blume
Image
I am certainly a fearful person, but fearless in my writing. So there's that other person inside.
Judy Blume
Image
Things change…things happen…things you can’t even imagine when you’re young and full of hope.
Judy Blume
Image
I think about Lenaya and Hugh. Will they know how much I've changed this year? Will they have changed too? I'll wait until tomorrow to find out. And then it's possible I won't find out after all. Because some changes happen deep down inside of you. And the truth is, only you know about them. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be.

Fear is often disguised as moral outrage.

you can't deny they ever happened. You can't deny you ever loved them, love them still, even if loving them causes you pain
Judy Blume

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
The parent reads the book. The kid reads the book and then they can talk about the characters instead of talking about themselves. You know there's a connection even if you don't talk about it when you read the same books.
Judy Blume
Image
Let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together, we won't have as much censorship because we won't have as much fear.
