Betsy Byars, on writing:


Writing is like anything – baseball playing, piano playing, sewing, hammering nails.
The more you work on it, the better you get.
But it seems to take a longer time to get better at writing than hammering nails.

Betsy Byars, on writing:


When I type a title page,
I hold it and I look at it and I think,
I just need four thousand sentences to go with this and I’ll have a book.

Betsy Byars, on reading and writing:


For me, reading books and writing them are tied together.
The words of other writers teach me and refresh me and inspire me.
