Oh my. Everytime I read Harry Potter, I feel wonderful, but inferior and petty and miniscule. How is JK Rowling so good? There's so MUCH in her work! It's amazing. She's created a whole new universe, but managed to tie in values and messages and it's just astounding when you think about it. It's got more to analyze in it than To Kill a Mockingbird ( Read more... )

I love you Maridan. And remember, A) JK Rowling is more than 25 years older than you, and B) She was probably less talented than you at our age. Because you are amazing. And so is she, n'est-ce pas?

And forgetting is never the answer. But you know that. See? You are amazing.

Love ya babe ;)

"I really think no one can will a novel into existence, and that deep down everyone who attempts this recognizes this."

just write doll. it doesnt have to be good, or have morals, or a whole new world.
just write.
and sometimes the hardest thing is to write the truth. making up a new world is just imagination, but to be able to truthfully convey THIS world? thats hard.

but just write. dont write to be good, or for the reader. a good author writes for themselves.
