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
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
