I thought [books ban] was crazy. Really my thoughts were This is America, we don't do this here but of course I know a lot better now. And I wasn't the only one.

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
Summer Sisters is probably my least autobiographical book. The whole idea started with rowing down the pond. And I heard an explosion. I don't like sudden loud noises. They scare me. And then all these people came running down the hill and jumped in the water in their finery and a bride and groom was with them, and that's where it all started.
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
The child from 9 to 12 interests me very much. And so, those were the years that I like to write about, when I'm writing.
