Just a quick note here for you guys to direct you to the guest blog post I wrote for Robin McKinley! You know Robin McKinley, author of Deerskin and The Hero and the Crown, two of the most defining books of my life (along with The Last Unicorn). I’ll be talking in the posts about art, ME and most specifically about creating DreamWorld.
Isn’t this just the MOST BEAUTIFUL BOOK COVER EVER?? The cover was what got my attention when I was 19 and first read it. My childhood dog had also recently been put to sleep and I saw my mom reading it not long after that event. I guess I asked her why she was reading it because I remember her saying that there were lots of dogs in the book, and the way that Robin McKinley wrote about them made my mom think that she would understand how devastated we both were by his loss. I can only say that as I’ve had the truly delightful pleasure of getting to know Robin a bit personally, I am 100% sure my mother is right.
The article I turned in to her was SO LONG that she was able to break it up into three chunks, so I’ll link to them as they go up!
In the meantime, enjoy this post! Have a look at the rest of her blog too; it’s WELL worth subscribing to! It’s one of the few blogs which, if I get behind on emails and they pile up in my inbox, I actually save and read them all instead of scrapping the old ones and tuning in to just the recent ones. Plus, she loves sighthounds as much as I do. In fact, Deerskin is a big part of why I love sighthounds so much.
Anyway, here’s a link; enjoy!
