A Person Without Curiosity May As Well

A Good Writer Is Always A People Watcher.

I Have To Go With What Comes Naturally To Me. Fantasy Isn't My Thing. I Did Enjoy The Oz Books When I Was Growing Up And Certainly My Grandson And I Read Harry Potter Together. You Write What You Can As Well As You Can.

I Didn't Know I Was Really A Writer Until I Read It In The New York Times. And Then I Thought, "oh My God, Maybe I Can Really Do This". That Was A Review Of "margaret."

I'm A More Skilled Writer Now, But After 23 Books It's Harder To Be Fresh And That's Really Important To Me. I Don't Want To Write The Same Thing Over And Over Again.

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.
