A Good Writer Is Always A People

"summer Sisters" Is Probably My Least Autobiographical Book. The Whole Idea Started With Rowing Down The Pond. And I Heard An Explosion. I Don't Like Sudden Loud Noises. They Scare Me. And Then All These People Came Running Down The Hill And Jumped In The Water In Their Finery And A Bride And Groom Was With Them, And That's Where It All Started.

I Like One Hair, Tuna Fish, The Smell Of Rain And Things That Are Pink. I Hate Pimples, Baked Potatoes, When My Mother's Mad, And Religious Holidays.

It's Strange, But When It Comes Right Down To It I Never Do Fall Apart--even When I'm Sure I Will.

A Lot Of People Worry Much Too Much About What Their Children Are Reading... If A Child Picks Up A Book And Reads Something She Has A Question About, If She Can Go To Her Parents, Great. Or Else They Will Read Right Over It. It Won't Mean A Thing. They Are Very Good, I Think, At Monitoring What Makes Them Feel Uncomfortable. If Something Makes Them Feel Uncomfortable They Will Put It Down.

That's My Anxiety Dream. I Go To The Library And All The Books On My Subject Are Out.
