R. L. Stine

I used to get a haircut every Saturday so I would never miss any of the comic books. I had practically no hair when I was a kid!

I've never turned into a bee - I've never been chased by a mummy or met a ghost. But many of the ideas in my books are suggested by real life.

I have a cheat-sheet for each one of my characters about their personality, the way they look, etc. So there is no possible way that I could have writer's block.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

Composers, like authors, have a lot in common. Our main goal is to connect with the listener emotionally.
