Quotations: "I started writing fiction in my mid-twenties, thinking I was a serious writer who wrote serious stories. But they were no fun to write and nobody wanted to publish them. Fortunately, it wasn't long before I had children and they quickly convinced me that my true destiny was to be a serious goof, and write funny tales for children. This is a great excuse to do all the stuff I loved when I was a kid: explore the woods behind the school, dig for worms, play music and do art projects, watch movies that star talking animals, and go bike riding and horseback riding. It's all research!"

"An aspiring writer is really just a writer aspiring to get published. The only hard part is to keep on being a waiter long enough for somebody to publish something. For me, that meant constantly writing new stories (not reworking one story) and sending them out. and only allowing myself five minutes on an egg timer to feel bad about a rejection slip. It’s all worth it once you open that book and see yourself looking back from the inside flap."
