Judy Blume
My only advice is to stay aware, listen carefully, and yell for help if you need it.
Judy Blume
When I was twelve. And I was going through my parents' bookshelves, I found the most wonderful books and plenty of. Within those wonderful books that were real turn-on's. At 12 or 13, books were such turn-ons.
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.
