I think people who write for kids, we have that ability to go back into our own lives.
A person without curiosity may as well be dead.
I am certainly a fearful person, but fearless in my writing. So there's that other person inside.
You've got to enjoy whatever you can and forget about the rest.
When you ask, did writing change my life? It totally changed my life. It gave me my life.
My mother was a cracker jack typist. And she would come in and sit at my house and type the final type script before I would then send it to the publisher. And it was nice for us.
