Caroline B. Cooney

I believe my voice is pretty much the same. I've written 75 books, so I'm better at it now than I was earlier in my career. ”

I love writing and do not know why it is considered such a difficult, agonizing profession. ”

People nearly always believe, and are willing to back it up with weapons and cruelty, that their religion and way of life is better than the other person's. ”

If you write a story based on a real person, you're trapped by the details of the real person and his life. It gets in the way of writing your own story. ”

I love all of it, thinking up the plots, getting to know the kids in the story, their parents, backyards, pizza toppings. ”

My favorite book is always the one I'm working on at the moment. ”
