I Try To Create New Characters In

I Love To Watch Movies.

Some Characters Become Your Friends For Life. That's How It Was For Me With Betsy-tacy.

I Try To Create New Characters In Each Book I Write. That's What Makes Writing Fun And Interesting For Me.

I Didn't Know Anything About Writers. It Never Occurred To Me They Were Regular People And That I Could Grow Up To Become One, Even Though I Loved To Make Up Stories Inside My Head.

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. Norma Klein Was Writing At The Same Time. Her Books Were Going. So Many Of Us. When You Say To Me, No You Can't Do This I Say, Oh Yes I Can.
