I am not scared of you, I am scare of these feelings.
If no one speaks out for [young readers], if they don’t speak out for themselves, all they’ll get for required reading will be the most bland books available. Instead of finding the information they need at the library, instead of finding novels that illuminate life, they will find only those materials to which nobody could possibly object... 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.
I am a big defender of 'Harry Potter,' and I think any book that gets kids to read are books that we should cherish, we should be thankful for them.
I always had stories inside my head and one day I just decided to start writing them down. I didn't actually decide.
I love to watch movies.
I meet people on the street or at book signings and they tend to treat me as if they know me, as if we're connected. It's great.
I think people who write for kids, we have that ability to go back into our own lives.
I use a computer, but before I begin each new book I keep a notebook. I write down everything that comes to mind during that period before I actually begin. It might take months or weeks. That notebook is my security blanket so that I never have to face a blank screen (or blank page). But I print out often and my best ideas usually come with a pencil in my hand.
I'm an e-mail junkie though I'm trying to read my in-box only twice a day and to answer all at once.
I'm really quite bad at coming up with plot ideas. I like to create characters and just see what will happen to them when I let them loose!
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.
Determination and hard work are as important as talent.
hi I hope u want to be my friends
A person without curiosity may as well be dead.
