Judy Blume
I've heard that some authors do dream their books and I would love that if it happened to me, but so far it hasn't. Sometimes I'll get a good idea during the night and if I don't write it down, I won't remember it the next morning.
Judy Blume

Things change…things happen…things you can’t even imagine when you’re young and full of hope.
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
Do not let anyone discourage you. If they try: get determined, not depressed.
Judy Blume
