Every author has different ways of writing and what works for one author does not necessarily work for another.

If you don't remember childhood and you idealize it, you can't write books for kids because they're not real. Kids pick that up.

People forget what a big issue toilet training is for adults and kids, and it is not fun, especially when you're in a car on the interstate.

The title is one of the most important things. It is the first thing that people read.

Writing is a bit like swimming. You learn writing by doing it and you learn swimming by doing it. Nobody learns how to swim by reading a book about swimming and nobody learns how to write by reading a book about writing. If you want to learn how to write, write a lot and you will get better at it.

I tell the stories in front of audiences and wait for something to happen. It's similar to a standup comic doing his schtick for an audience.

I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be.
