Judy Blume Researcher: Christen Shaw Judy Blume was born Judy Sussman on February 12, 1938 in Elizabeth, New Jersey. The daughter of a dentist and a homemaker, Judy dreamed of becoming many extraordinary things when she grew up. In her mind, she could see herself being a detective, a cowgirl, a famous actress, or a ballerina. She was highly imaginative and spent much of her time writing stories and making up characters in her head, but never wrote any of it down. After graduating from an all-girls public high school on New Jersey, Judy attended college at New York University. There she met John M. Blume. They were married in 1959, Judy's junior year of college. In 1961 she received her bachelor's degree in education. That same year, she had her first child, her daughter Randy. In 1963, she had her son, Larry. Judy and her family lived in suburban New Jersey. She had her degree, but never became a teacher. Much like when she was a child, she would daydream and write stories in her head as she did her household chores. She started to write her stories down when her children began preschool. After two years of rejection letters, Blume was feeling discouraged. She enrolled in a children's writing course at New York University. Although she believes no one can teach you how to write, she felt she needed the support and encouragement. When the session ended, she reenrolled and took the class again. During that second semester, she sold some of her stories to magazines, got her first picture book accepted for publishing, and wrote most of her book

var gDcsId = "dcs35t4vc10000chxa0maatv9_2u9t"; Judy Blume When I was growing up, I dreamed about becoming a cowgirl, a detective, a spy, a great actress, or a ballerina. Not a dentist, like my father, or a homemaker, like my mother and certainly not a writer, although I always loved to read. I didn't know anything about writers. It never occurred to me they were regular people and that I could grow up to become one, even though I loved to make up stories inside my head. I made up stories while I bounced a ball against the side of our house. I made up stories playing with paper dolls. And I made them up while I practiced the piano by pretending to give piano lessons. I even kept a notebook with the names of my pretend students and how they were doing. I always had an active imagination. But I never wrote down any of my stories. And I never told anyone about them. When I grew up, my need for storytelling didn't go away. So when my own two children started preschool I began to write and I've been writing ever since! My characters live inside my head for a long time before I actually start a book about them. Then, they become so real to me I talk about them at the dinner table as if they are real. Some people consider this weird. But my family understands. Many of my books are set in New Jersey because that's where I was born and raised. I lived there until my kids finished elementary school.
