[I]t's not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written. The books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers.

Librarians save lives by handing the right book at the right time to a kid in need.
Judy Blume
Image
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
Image
I don't necessarily want to talk about a book that I read. Even when I love it.
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
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

Fear is often disguised as moral outrage.

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!

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

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 thought [Summer Sisters ] would be a children's book - two girls who summer together from very different backgrounds. And then when it just kept going and going and going. They kept getting older.
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.

I like revising much, much better than getting down a first draft. The first draft is just getting the pieces to the puzzle. Then I get to put the puzzle together!

Why are we acting as if we're angry. Are we angry?

I fell in love with books at the Elizabeth Public Library when I was four.
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 like to read fiction best and I like to write fiction, too.

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 wanted to write honest books for kids because I didn't have those when I was a kid.
