Judy Blume

I was just cleaning out one of my many email accounts and came across an old email that I've kept. One day, I was surfing through internet and decided to write to Judy Blume on her website. I knew she'd probably never get it, and if she did, I'd never get a response. Much to my surprise, I did get a response, but I kept telling myself that it was just one of her "people" helping out. Secretly, I'd like to think that SHE actually wrote it-just like Tom Selleck did all those middle school heart throb years I had with him.

Here is a copy of her letter. I don't remember exactly what I wrote to her, but I do remember telling her how much I loved her books and how much "Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret" changed my life (Why doesn't blogger have the underlining feature?).

Dear Dyana,
Thanks so much for your warm note. I'm touched by how well you remember my
books. Wish there were time for a longer, more thoughtful response, but
I'm overwhelmed right now and trying (desperately!) to find the quiet time
necessary to write. Hope you'll understand. Readers like you have made my
career, and I can never thank you enough.
Come back and visit my website again. Hope to get up some new info soon!
Love,
Judy
