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.

More quotes by Judy Blume
I'm lucky that so many children visit my website. At least I get to talk with them that way.
Judy Blume
I was Little Miss Perfect. That's where all the secrets come in, because you know damn well you are not perfect, but you think your parents want you to be. And so you pretend.
Judy Blume
Margaret was just my truth. It was what I knew to be true about sixth grade.
Judy Blume
I love to talk with children. I try to visit schools but it's hard for me to travel when I'm trying to write. Some authors are able to do both.
Judy Blume
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
It was a such a surprise, such an absolute shocking surprise to me to not know what you're doing and to find out that this thing that you don't even know how to do, that you're sure you don't know how to do, speaks to so many people and touches so many people in some way.
Judy Blume
I like to read fiction best and I like to write fiction, too.
Judy Blume
I always had stories inside my head and one day I just decided to start writing them down. I didn't actually decide.
Judy Blume
My mother was a cracker jack typist. And she would come in and sit at my house and type the final type script before I would then send it to the publisher. And it was nice for us.
Judy Blume
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
our finger prints dont fade from the lives we touch
Judy Blume
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.
Judy Blume
Do not let anyone discourage you. If they try: get determined, not depressed.
Judy Blume
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.
Judy Blume
Censors never go after books unless kids already like them. I don’t even think they know to go after books until they know that children are interested in reading this book, therefore there must be something in it that’s wrong.
Judy Blume
I don't necessarily want to talk about a book that I read. Even when I love it.
Judy Blume
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.
Judy Blume
I don't believe in writer's block. There are good days when you're writing and less good days. I've learned that if it's not happening to walk away and return later. I doodle a lot and often get my best ideas with a pencil in my hand while I'm doodling. The problem is, sometimes I lose my doodles and that's bad!
Judy Blume
I thought [books ban] was crazy. Really my thoughts were This is America, we don't do this here but of course I know a lot better now. And I wasn't the only one. Norma Klein was writing at the same time. Her books were going. So many of us. When you say to me, no you can't do this I say, oh yes I can.
Judy Blume
Librarians save lives by handing the right book at the right time to a kid in need.
