More quotes by Judy Blume

It was a such a surprise, such an absolute shocking surprise to me to not know what you're doing and to find out that this thing that you don't even know how to do, that you're sure you don't know how to do, speaks to so many people and touches so many people in some way.

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

Judy Blume
My only advice is to stay aware, listen carefully, and yell for help if you need it.
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 stop and think before I start a new book and ask myself do I really want to spend the next year or two or three with these characters because if I don't, then I shouldn't be writing about them.
Judy Blume
I kept a diary as a teenager but I never would have shared it with anyone. Still, I think it's very good practice to write things down.
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.
