Quote

I love picture books. I think some of the best people in children's books are the ones who create their own picture books. I wish I could say I'm one of them, but I'm not.

Image
I fell in love with books at the Elizabeth Public Library when I was four.
Judy Blume
Image
What I remember when I started to write was how I couldn't wait to get up in the morning to get to my characters.
Judy Blume
Image
I like one hair, tuna fish, the smell of rain and things that are pink. I hate pimples, baked potatoes, when my mother's mad, and religious holidays.
Judy Blume
Image
Some characters become your friends for life. That's how it was for me with Betsy-Tacy.
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.
Judy Blume
Image
Suddenly question number four popped into my mind. Have you thought about how this relationship will end?
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.

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
Image
Its all about your determination, I think, as much as anything. There are a lot of people with talent, but its that determination.

Fear is often disguised as moral outrage.
Judy Blume
Image
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!

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
Something will be offensive to someone in every book, so you've got to fight it.
Judy Blume
Image
Things change…things happen…things you can’t even imagine when you’re young and full of hope.
Judy Blume

The only thing that works with writing is that you care so passionately about it yourself, that you make someone else care passionately about it.
Judy Blume
Image
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.

Determination and hard work are as important as talent.

My only advice is to stay aware, listen carefully, and yell for help if you need it.
