Blank Quote by Judy Blume
“I use a computer, but before I begin each new book I keep a notebook. I write down everything that comes to mind during that period before I actually begin. It might take months or weeks. That notebook is my security blanket so that I never have to face a blank screen (or blank page). But I print out often and my best ideas usually come with a pencil in my hand.”

Instead of finding the information they need at the library, instead of finding novels that illuminate life, they will find only those…” quote by Judy Blume](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/924/judy-blume-2002_age_if-no-one-speaks-out-for-young-readers-i_51912.jpg)
