Robin Hobb's Interests

General	Well, writing of course. And reading. I enjoy my garden, but it's a rather messy, gone a bit wild garden. I'm fascinated by my children and grand children. I'm interested in life in general.
Music	Garret Hope told me that his piece of music, "The Boy Who Woke Dragons" was inspired by the Farseer Trilogy. So I'm pleased to include it, with his permission, on this site. What music I listen to really varies from day to day and task to task. I think that Paul Simon has been writing the themes for my life since I was about 13 years old. He's always a pleasure for me. What I listen to really depends on my mood. Melissa Etheridge one day, and Leonard Cohen the next. From Janis Joplin to Janis Ian. Nickelback to Crash Test Dummies. I'm big on lyrics, but the music is important, too. If I'm in the car or truck alone, especially if I'm facing a long drive, I'll put the channel on a country western station. (Ironic favorite 100.7 KKWF The Wolf. The DJ in the morning is named Fitz.) It's a form of music in which the ballad is very much alive. There are a lot of country songs that could be used as a concise course in how to write a short story.
Movies	Oh, this will be a very mixed bag. My Neighbor Totoro. Indiana Jones, all four of them. Star Wars, the original three. Blade Runner. Night at the Museum. Strings. Labyrinth. Princess Mononoke. Enchanted. The Magnificent Seven. Seven Samurai.
Television	I never have time to watch television. Or rather, I watch about 20 different channels in the half hour before I fall asleep, and finally turn it off thinking, "What a waste. I could have been reading a book." It has been a long time since I had a favorite television series. I could blame that on television, but mostly I think it's because I can't 'commit' to watching a series week after week. Too many things come up in my life.
Books	I'd need a much bigger space to list them all. So I'll just skim the surface here. George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. I'm stunned by this. And I'm willing to wait for the next volume. Old favorite: Rudyard Kipling. Couple of recent authors I've read and enjoyed? Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn) and Patrick Rothfuss. Fiona MacIntosh. Charles deLint. Vonda McIntyre. Steven Brust. Robert Parker. Fritz Leiber. Theodore Sturgeon. Barbara Hambly. Do I even need to mention JRR Tolkien?

Robin Hobb's Blurbs

About me:

Who I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet other writers and readers.

I'd also like to meet rodeo clowns, forensic pathologists, veterinarians, midwives, animal trainers and able bodied seamen.

In short, I like to meet interesting people from all walks of life. One of the reason I enjoy interacting with readers and other chance met people on the Internet is that every one of them is an expert in something. Often people don't realize or value the sort of expertise they've acquired in their lives. What I've discovered as a writer is that people are always the first and best writing resource for me. If you really want to know about something, be it carpet laying or how to shoe a horse, the best way to understand it is to find someone who thinks it's easy because they do it all the time.

I always have to smile when the interviewer asks the inevitable question, "Where do you get your ideas?"

All you have to do is ask someone about their area of expertise, and all the 'what if' stories start sprouting.
