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.
Judy Blume
I love to watch movies.

I don't believe in writer's block. There are good days when you're writing and less good days. I've learned that if it's not happening to walk away and return later. I doodle a lot and often get my best ideas with a pencil in my hand while I'm doodling. The problem is, sometimes I lose my doodles and that's bad!

Judy Blume
I was sick all the time, one exotic illness after another, which lasted throughout my twenties. My worst decade. But from the day the first book was accepted, I never got sick again. Writing changed my life.
Judy Blume
I never read a horse book in my life. But I thought that's what my friends were reading and that's what I should be reading. And this was Dobbin Does This and Dobbin Does That.
Judy Blume
I love to talk with children. I try to visit schools but it's hard for me to travel when I'm trying to write. Some authors are able to do both.
Judy Blume
I can't let safety and security become the focus of my life.
Judy Blume
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
Fear is often disguised as moral outrage.
