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

We had news this morning of another successful atomic bomb being dropped on Nagasaki. These two heavy blows have fallen in quick succession upon the Japanese and there will be quite a little space before we intend to drop another. ↗

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 feel that good fantasy will always be in demand. I think children especially need literature that helps them escape from the real world, which is very scary to them right now. ↗

I read everywhere. I read every day. I read on the couch with my dog in the afternoon and at night. I try to read at least two to three hours a day. I read only fiction. ↗

If you do enough planning before you start to write, there's no way you can have writer's block. I do a complete chapter by chapter outline. ↗

Normally, I spend a week on the outline and take two weeks to write the book. ↗

When I write for kids, I have to make sure they know what can't happen. They have to know it's a fantasy. But when I write for adults, they have to think it's real. Every detail has to be real or they won't buy it. ↗

I don't need to manufacture trauma in my life to be creative. I have a big enough reservoir of sadness or emotional trauma to last me. ↗

It has very little to do with my work, but if your image is not sexy enough, people won't listen. It's part of the game. ↗
