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!

Margaret was just my truth. It was what I knew to be true about sixth grade.
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.

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.
