David
David asked R.L. Stine:

This is probably a question you hate being asked but where do you get your ideas for each book?

R.L. Stine You're right, David.

Ramita asked R.L. Stine:

This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)[ You said "Read. Read. Read. Just don't read one type of book. Read different books by various authors so that you develop different style."
Are you writing any other book other than goosebumps?

Rebecca Willey asked R.L. Stine:

How long have you been writing goosebumps?

Christina
Christina asked R.L. Stine:

I'm a librarian because of your books! I started reading the Fear Street series when I was 12 years old and fell in love with books and started going to my local library to check your books out. I fell in love with the library atmosphere and now work in a public library. Thank you for opening that door for me. I was just wondering if you have any plans to come to Minneapolis to do a signing?
