We Weren't Doing Blow Jobs When I

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 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.

Ideas Seem To Come From Everywhere - My Life, Everything I See, Hear, And Read, And Most Of All, From My Imagination. I Have A Lot Of Imagination.

I Love To Talk With Children. I Try To Visit Schools But It's Hard For Me To Travel When I'm Trying To Write. Some Authors Are Able To Do Both.

What I Remember When I Started To Write Was How I Couldn't Wait To Get Up In The Morning To Get To My Characters.
