Nothing Teaches You As Much About Writing

In This Age Of Censorship, I Mourn The Loss Of Books That Will Never Be Written, I Mourn The Voices That Will Be Silenced-writers' Voices, Teachers' Voices, Students' Voices-and All Because Of Fear.

When I Started To Write, It Was The '70s, And Throughout That Decade, We Didn't Have Any Problems With Book Challenges Or Censorship.

Do Not Let Anyone Discourage You. If They Try: Get Determined, Not Depressed.

Moms Come Up To Me At Book Signings.

I Kept A Diary As A Teenager But I Never Would Have Shared It With Anyone. Still, I Think It's Very Good Practice To Write Things Down.
