I do not really write for children: I write only for me and for the few people I hope to please, and I write for the story.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't write for children. I write and someone says it's for children.
I write for kids because I think the most interesting (and most humorous) stories come from people's childhoods. When I was writing 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid,' I had a blast talking on the phone to my younger brother, Patrick, remembering all of the things that happened to our family when we were growing up.
I don't really write for adults or kids - I don't write for kids, I write about them. I think you need to do that; otherwise, you end up preaching down. You need to listen not so much to the audience but to the story itself.
I loved to write when I was a child. I wrote, but I always thought it was something that you did as a child, then you put away childish things.
You cannot write for children They're much too complicated. You can only write books that are of interest to them.
I don't know if anything I write will endure, but I do try to write it as a narrative that will not only challenge but also entice the reader into the lives of children.
I always love writing about children.
It is extremely important to me to write for children.
I loved writing for kids, I loved talking to children about what I'd written, I don't want to leave that behind.
Now I don't really write for adults or kids - I don't write for kids, I write about them. I think you need to do that, otherwise you end up preaching down.
