Good night, dear magical Twitter folk. Tonight I will leave you with this illustration by Garth Williams for "Bedtime for Frances" by Russell Hoban (originally published in 1960)
The 4 stages of writing a novel according to the Wizard Howl:
1. The love of the initial idea
2. Pulling out one's hair over plot
3. I'm a fake, a fraud, a failure. I can't do it.
4. Finished the first draft. You feel transformed.
Congratulations to @NicLesperance on the release of her mesmerizing & magical book The Wide Starlight. It is a stunning work of fantasy & forgiveness.
Walt Disney's Cinderella premiered #OTD in 1950. Here is the concept art for the film done by illustrator Mary Blair.
This Valentine's Day, instead of giving your true love a bouquet of flowers that will wilt & die, give them what they really want: the cottage from Kiki's Delivery Service with its garden & greenhouse where they can grow plants & flowers to be used in their own magical potions.
