I have known Valerie Hobbs for many years. I have enjoyed her wonderful stories and her marvelous master classes. I also produced a book trailer for her last novel, The Best Last Days of Summer. I cornered Val at the SCBWI Summer Conference and asked her to give us a Writing Tip of the Day.

Excellent. Yes, bravery is what's needed. So wonderful to hear your good words. Thanks, Val (and Tina, of course!).

Great tip, Val! I'm not surprised. You're full of wisdom (and so was Rachel Vail!!).

Well said, Valerie. It does take bravery to go to those depths and emtoions that make the character live.

Looking good Valerie. Can I call you Val? Too personal?

Love it. I recently observed the jr. high kids at our neighborhood block party. What a painful reminder of those awkward years! Yes, it'd take some bravery to mentally go back there . . . Thanks Tina and Val!

Nice one, Tina (and Val). I have some pretty horrifying memories...gotta bravely go back there and take a gander.
