Do not let anyone discourage you. If they try: get determined, not depressed.
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.

Suddenly question number four popped into my mind. Have you thought about how this relationship will end?

our finger prints dont fade from the lives we touch

Books opened up a whole new world to me. Through them I discovered new ideas, traveled to new places, and met new people. Books helped me learn to understand other people and they taught me a lot about myself. ... Some books you never forget. Some characters become your friends for life.
Judy Blume

I like to read fiction best and I like to write fiction, too.
Judy Blume
Image
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
The best books come from someplace deep inside.... Become emotionally involved. If you don't care about your characters, your readers won't either.
Judy Blume
Image
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.

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.
Judy Blume
Image
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.

[ Adult novels] was the world of grownups. There was nothing about teenagers.
Judy Blume
Image
My only advice is to stay aware, listen carefully, and yell for help if you need it.
Judy Blume
Image
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.
Judy Blume
Image
My mother was my greatest fan.
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
[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.
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.
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.

Some characters become your friends for life. That's how it was for me with Betsy-Tacy.
