Like My Mother Said, You Can't Go

I Don't Really Know Exactly How It Happened But I Don't Like The Idea That I Would Ever Have Said I'm Going To Write About Racism Or Puberty Or Bullying.

I Was Shy, But I Stood Up In Front Of The Class And I Gave My Report.i Was Reporting On Books That I Didn't Want To Read. I Was Inventing Books That I Didn't Want To Read.

In A New York Post Interview, Judy Blume, Author Of Young-adult Fiction, Gave This Advice On Getting Your Kids To Read: "moms Come Up To Me At Book Signings And Describe How They're Telling Their Daughters, 'these Were My Favorite Books,'?" She Says. "i Say, 'quit It! That's The Biggest Turnoff!'"you Want To Get Them To Read Them, Leave Them Around The House And Every So Often, Say, 'you're Not Ready To Read This Yet.'

What's The Point Of Thinking About How It's Going To End When It's Just The Beginning?

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.
