“Sometimes I think some of my fellow novelists who have not worked in television and film are very naive about this process. They get an offer and there's the dump truck full of money and they sign it, they cash the check and then they're not involved in the series. They may get invited to the premiere and they come out of the premiere looking like all of their children had just been gassed, with a stunned look on their face because everything has been changed.” ThinkingLooksMayChildrenHas BeensSometimesFilmFacesProcessChangedTelevisionInvolvedOffersFellowsSeriesChecksNovelistsCashInvitedNaiveTruckDumpStunnedPremieres Author:George R.

“Children make better readers than adults. They read as carefully as I write; adults read as a means of getting off to sleep. I get letters saying 'I have read your book seventeen times.' If you're an adult novelist and you get that letter, you should be afraid. You're being stalked. Kids always read them seventeen times!” IfsShouldWritingMeanChildrenBookKidsSleepReaderAdultsLettersNovelistsSeventeen Author:Daniel Pinkwater
