TIM: Where is the strangest place you have come up with an idea for a story? But as a horror writer, I guess my favorite word is SCREAM!
R.L.: Someone once got in an elevator with a very witty author named Noel Coward and said, "Say something funny." And Coward said, "Kangaroo." Kangaroo has been a favorite word of mine ever since I heard that story. TIM: You've written so many books I can't do the math, but I bet you've used millions of words. Then I try to hear their voices tell the story as I write it. I visit schools a lot and talk with kids so I can keep up with what they are saying these days and what real kids sound like. I try to hear the voice of the boy or girl who is telling the story. TIM: When I illustrate, I can "see" the image in my head before I start to draw. Recently, the two of them got together and asked the questions they've always wanted to ask each other. Tim did the cover paintings for more than 80 Goosebumps books, as well as the six amazing Amazon books. Stine's favorite illustrator? Maybe because they've done so many scary books together.
