| | |  Orange Prize judge praises J.K.Rowling
Muriel Gray, who's in charge of choosing "the most important novel by a woman this year for the 2007 Orange Prize" has praised J.K.Rowling, saying she wishes more women wrote like her. Quote:
"I wish people would look at the example of JK Rowling," she said.
"She lost her mother and she had a bad marriage break-up but look what she wrote. She turned that into a thing of incredible imagination.
"We found too many lazy writers who think that it's enough just to chronicle something going on in their lives. It is mildly depressing."

Somebody's an embittered critic *cough* and I'm not talking about Jo. Lazy writers indeed ... everyone isn't so gifted with imagination ... I dislike judgemental people ... lazy writers indeed ... I'd hate to hear what she thinks of fanfiction ... *cough*
 To me fanficcers ... Viva la Revolución lets take down the critics ... and kidnap Rupert for me ... he's so cute ... Kelly said I could keep him.

That's sweet. I admire Jo's persistence a lot, too, because she set an example for women all over the world through it.

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
