The beloved star of One Day at a Time and Hot in Cleveland revealed that the writing process has been a therapeutic outlet for her, helping her to cope with the challenges of life.

As Valerie sat down to work on her latest project, she found herself reflecting on the concept of inspiration and how it has evolved over the years.
