Judy Blume

Judy Blume
Sometimes I can't read my own handwriting. That's a problem!
Judy Blume
I meet people on the street or at book signings and they tend to treat me as if they know me, as if we're connected. It's great.
Judy Blume

Judy Blume
My only advice is to stay aware, listen carefully, and yell for help if you need it.
Judy Blume
Some characters become your friends for life. That's how it was for me with Betsy-Tacy.
Judy Blume
Its all about your determination, I think, as much as anything. There are a lot of people with talent, but its that determination.
Judy Blume
