I Hate To Cook And Love To

It Is Always Just Telling A Story, Regardless Of The Age Of The Reader. Except, If I'm Writing Something For Kids, I Know There Has To Be Hope. I Don't Necessarily Feel That Responsibility For Adults, But I Emphatically Feel It For Children. That's The Only Difference. There's No Syntax Difference. There's No Semantics Difference. There's No Thematic Difference.

There's Nothing More Fabulous Than An Adult Saying To You, "i Think That You Might Like This One [book]." So I'm Grateful Every Time That Happens. It's An Amazing Thing That People Care That Passionately.

Hands Down, The Biggest Thrill Is To Get A Letter From A Kid Saying, I Loved Your Book. Will You Write Me Another One?

Sometimes Strange And Wonderful Things Will Pop Into My Head. And Sometimes I Will See Something In The World That Is The Beginning Of A Story. I Always Have A Notebook With Me So That I Can Write Down What I See And Hear.

I Like To Think Of Myself As A Storyteller.
