I drive a lot in the summertime, but after that, I don't drive if there's snow predicted for anywhere in 500 miles.

I'm obsessed with radio. It's a good start to Sunday morning.

Many adults feel that every children's book has to teach them something.... My theory is a children's book... can be just for fun.

I haven't written a young-adult book in years. I'm also doing six 'Goosebumps' books a year now.

The only lesson is, you gotta keep at it.

Well, first you have to love writing. A lot of authors love having written. But I enjoy the actual writing. Beside that, I think the main reason I can be so prolific is the huge amount of planning I do before I start to write. I do a very complete, chapter-by-chapter outline of every book I write. When I sit down to write, I already know everything that's going to happen in the book. This means I've done all the important thinking, and I can relax and enjoy the writing. I could never write so many books if I didn't outline them first.

I've made myself laugh from some ideas - but I've never scared myself.
