I raised five children. They all have different personalities. All of them have different issues different levels of success. That was a learning experience for me.

It was a great experience for a kid because it was a bunch of kids playing on pirate ships and water slides so looking back on it it was the fondest experience of my childhood.

I had such a close relationship with my dog and my dog so filled the need in my life to have children that I just wanted Cathy to have that experience.

I was an only child. I've known only children. From this experience I do believe that the children should outnumber the parents.

I have three goddaughters - I'm not sure why they trust me because I have no experience with children - but I try.

Some writers can only deal with childhood experience because it's complete. For another kind of writer life goes on and he's able to keep processing that as well.
