cool :) i hope she writes more books after HP :D

yay my first first post!!

I love the advice she gives young authors. I can't tell you how many times I've written hole 'stories' by just writing what comes out of my head and I end up forgetting things. Heh.

I'm also like her... give me a chance, and once I start writing I'll end up with several paragraphs, sometimes whole pages...

Oh, and I have the sollitude thing down very well. :)

that's great! yeah, i'd be very happy if i saw my book on a shelf. especially on the bestseller shelf like hers....

^ yeah, i hope she writes more as well - though after this she may want peace! entirely her choice, hp fans will back her all the way!

Thats good advice. Maybe she could write a book about how to plan a story and about characterisation. People would deffinatley buy her book as she is a best selling author and her advice would be invaluable.

Thats really cool, and true. One should read lots! :yes: It's so nice that she still gets joy from seeing her books on a shelf - there are so many now! :P

That's really interesting what she says, develop a fondness for solitude LOL

Her advice is quite accurate. I can hardly write anything when people keep talking into my head. Solitude is the best answer if you want to write something great.

YAY i love JKR

Great advice! Of course reading is important. And not just for writing purposes although it is a vital role.

That would be the best thing in the world! Watching it lying there among other wonderful books you have read, and seeing your name shining amongst them...wow.... :flower:

quite a bit of advice....i do so love this quote.....

I thank her greatly because I'm one of those people. :)

she is soooo right abt this!
and perseverance is important tooo....
i loved what she said here!

She's so cool in advising new writers! :D

Great advise for young writers. I hope she continues to write after HP. I would love to see what comes next.

I hope she writes sequels to HP, i'd hate the books to end "And the boy who lived, lived again." THE END... that'd be heart breaking

*solemnly notes her advices* :bow:

I so need a new editorial...maybe this would make a good topic...hmm...
 

Pity their polls suck *cough*rigged*cough* Excuse me...dust in my throat...

Well that's cool...I'm off to read it...finally something interesting...anymore pictures from GoF and I'm going to storm the movie theater...*Ottery spazzing out*

Caveat: It does really matter what you read. LOL Stick to the classics kiddies...Danielle Steele isn't going to make you a good writer... :lol: it's going to be Jackie Collins *Ottery takes out Hollywood Wives*

That's really good advice.

I love it when JK Rowling gives advice to people. It is so great that such an excellent writer finds time to give advice to kids who may make her their role model. I will remember this advice for a long time.
