A Person Without Curiosity May As Well

I Use A Computer, But Before I Begin Each New Book I Keep A Notebook. I Write Down Everything That Comes To Mind During That Period Before I Actually Begin. It Might Take Months Or Weeks. That Notebook Is My Security Blanket So That I Never Have To Face A Blank Screen (or Blank Page). But I Print Out Often And My Best Ideas Usually Come With A Pencil In My Hand.

Concentrate On How Good If Feels To Be Alive. No Matter What. Just To See The Color Of The Sky, Just To Smell The Air, And Feel The Wind In Your Face

I Think People Who Write For Kids, We Have That Ability To Go Back Into Our Own Lives.

She Wondered If All The Firsts In Her Life Would Go By So Quickly, And Be Forgotten Just As Quickly.

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.
