It's great to see how many young readers have grown into adults who are writers, editors, teachers and librarians. What kind of "fan" reaction do you have from adults? The characters had to buy "Kid Kits," that had art projects, to make them even better babysitters. I hoped the readers would see that sometimes you have to spend money to make money.

There is an appeal to running your own business and earning your own money. I loved setting up the office, answering the telephone, getting the mail. When I was 7, 8 or 9, unlike most kids, I always wanted to play office. It was important to me to show what kids were capable of. I don't know if a lot of books dealt with the business aspect of doing grown up kids. I almost feel bad! I gave an idealistic view of what it could be.

Martin has showed us a bit of that world by nonchalantly dropping the fact of her sexuality into a magazine article. Where someone’s sexuality were as hum-drum a fact as whether or not they prefer chicken or beef. I wish we lived in a world where revelations like this didn’t matter so much.

When u find out 1 of your favorite childhood authors also likes ladies.

So instead, I said it with the most perfect gif ever on Twitter last night: Having recently come out as bisexual to friends and family, I’m playing catch-up on celebrity coming-out joy, and the fact that one of my favorite authors ever is in some way more like me -a me that I’ve only recently discovered and acknowledged -meant more to me than I can say.
