Advice from Sara Carr
About Me
- Val Hobbs
- Is a writer someone who does not write every day? Or even every week? (GASP) Then I am not a writer. A "spurt writer", I call myself. I write when the mood strikes or an idea keeps biting my ankle and won't let go, or sometimes when I'm just plain ashamed of myself for being so lazy. Despite all this I've somehow managed to write a dozen MG and YA novels (thirteen counting my adult novel, Call It A Gift.) Spurt writers can blitz when they want to, or need to--meeting a deadline for revision, for example. I love writing. I'm never more alive than when I'm caught up in a character's life, going places I haven't been or didn't know I was going. I've just finished The Last Best Days Of Summer which will debut in the Spring of 2010, another Frances Foster/Farrar, Straus & Giroux book. Frances has been my editor since 1998 and I hope she always will be. She's simply amazing.

THANK YOU TO THE HALF-MILLION CHILDREN WHO READ THE NOMINATED BOOKS THIS YEAR, AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO THE ONES WHO VOTED FOR SHEEP!
Congrats, Val! A well-deserved honor from the most hard earned critics.
Back in the real world, I'm fishing around for something to write. I need to write a short story about a dog for an anthology of dog stories that Holt will release in Fall 2011, but all the dog stories from my childhood are tragic, or at best tragi-comic, which I like but kids 8-10 would not like at all. Aren't all dog stories ultimately sad? Marley and Me, Old Yeller. . .
