I am certainly a fearful person, but fearless in my writing. So there's that other person inside.
Judy Blume
Image
some changes happen deep down inside of you. And the truth is, only you know about them. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be.

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.

My only advice is to stay aware, listen carefully, and yell for help if you need it.
Judy Blume

Books opened up a whole new world to me. Through them I discovered new ideas, traveled to new places, and met new people. Books helped me learn to understand other people and they taught me a lot about myself. ... Some books you never forget. Some characters become your friends for life.

I think about Lenaya and Hugh. Will they know how much I've changed this year? Will they have changed too? I'll wait until tomorrow to find out. And then it's possible I won't find out after all.

Let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together, we won't have as much censorship because we won't have as much fear.
Judy Blume
Image
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.

Suddenly question number four popped into my mind. Have you thought about how this relationship will end?
Judy Blume
Image
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.
Judy Blume

I don't necessarily want to talk about a book that I read. Even when I love it.
Judy Blume
Image
What I remember when I started to write was how I couldn't wait to get up in the morning to get to my characters.
Judy Blume
Image
When I'm writing a book, you can't think about your audience. You're going to be in big trouble if you think about it. You're got to write from deep inside.
Judy Blume
Image
I loved to read, and I think any child who loves to read will read anything, including the back of the cereal box, which I did every morning.
Judy Blume
Image
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.
