I Actually Do Like Traveling.

To Me The Book Is Like Having A Kid. I Have To Let It Go Out In The World, And Great Things Will Happen. Maybe They Won't, But It Has To Keep On Moving.

The Shapes Arranged Themselves Into Words, And The Words Spelled Out A Delicious And Wonderful Phrase: Once Upon A Time.

When It Is My Editor Telling Me How To Rewrite A Story, I Listen And Do What She Asks Because I Have Learned That I Get A Better Book In The End. I Can't Say I'm Happy When I Read That Editorial Letter. It Is Always A Little Painful And Scary. But I Have Learned That - Bit By Bit - I Can Make The Changes And Do The Work.

There Ain't A Body, Be It Mouse Or Man, That Ain't Made Better By A Little Soup.

What I Hope Is That The Book [bink & Gollie] Delights Children. What I Hope Is That They Laugh And Laugh And Laugh, Just As We Did When We Wrote Them.
