It's hard for children's authors to be accepted when they try to write adult books. J.K. Rowling is the exception because people are so eager to read anything by her, but it took Judy Blume three or four tries before she had a success.

I have a cheat-sheet for each one of my characters about their personality, the way they look, etc. So there is no possible way that I could have writer's block.

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.

The only lesson is, you gotta keep at it.

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

I should be concentrating on writing pages.

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