I love to talk with children. I try to visit schools but it's hard for me to travel when I'm trying to write. Some authors are able to do both.

More quotes by Judy Blume
Fear is often disguised as moral outrage.
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 do believe that people who write for children are deeply connected to their own childhood.
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
Librarians save lives by handing the right book at the right time to a kid in need.
Judy Blume
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
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.
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.
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
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
I don't necessarily want to talk about a book that I read. Even when I love it.
Judy Blume
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
I fell in love with books at the Elizabeth Public Library when I was four.
Judy Blume
It's strange, but when it comes right down to it I never do fall apart--even when I'm sure I will.
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
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.
Judy Blume
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
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
Judy Blume
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
Snoring keeps the monsters away.
