The Child From 9 To 12 Interests

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.

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.'

My Mother Was A Cracker Jack Typist. And She Would Come In And Sit At My House And Type The Final Type Script Before I Would Then Send It To The Publisher. And It Was Nice For Us.

I Never Thought About Writing. I Was Married Young, I Was Still In College, As We Did Then, And I Had Two Babies Before I Was 25, And I Loved Them, And I Loved Taking Care Of Them, But I Was A Little Bit Cuckoo, Staying At Home And Not Having A Creative Outlet.

I'm Really Quite Bad At Coming Up With Plot Ideas. I Like To Create Characters And Just See What Will Happen To Them When I Let Them Loose!
