Jacqueline Wilson on her upcoming autobiography.

From The Guardian:

I'd made up elaborate imaginary games ever since I could remember, and by the time I was six or seven I'd started writing about them in little Woolworths notebooks. I attempted my first novel when I was nine. I was no Daisy Ashford. It was only about 20 pages long and it had hardly any plot. It makes embarrassing reading now, but it's recognisably a JW novel, about an impoverished large family with many problems. I tackled marital arguments and difficult teenagers and sibling rivalries. I was very much a girl for gritty realism, even in those days.

I'm looking forward to it -- I haven't read NEARLY enough Jacqueline Wilson.
