More quotes by Judy Blume
I think we made out [sexuality changing]. I think that's really great, and we didn't jump into intercourse. And there were no blow jobs.
Judy Blume
We must, we must, we must increase our bust.
Judy Blume
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
I meet people on the street or at book signings and they tend to treat me as if they know me, as if we're connected. It's great.
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 was sick all the time, one exotic illness after another, which lasted throughout my twenties. My worst decade. But from the day the first book was accepted, I never got sick again. Writing changed my life.
Judy Blume
[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
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.
Judy Blume
Do not let anyone discourage you. If they try: get determined, not depressed.
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
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
I kept a diary as a teenager but I never would have shared it with anyone. Still, I think it's very good practice to write things down.
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
Some characters become your friends for life. That's how it was for me with Betsy-Tacy.
Judy Blume
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
I am certainly a fearful person, but fearless in my writing. So there's that other person inside.
Judy Blume
When I was twelve. And I was going through my parents' bookshelves, I found the most wonderful books and plenty of. Within those wonderful books that were real turn-on's. At 12 or 13, books were such turn-ons.
Judy Blume
I'm lucky that so many children visit my website. At least I get to talk with them that way.
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.
