Leo writer J.K. Rowling is the second-richest woman entertainer in the world because of her seven best-selling novels about Harry Potter. It wasn't easy for her in the beginning, however. Her first book in the series was rejected by eight publishers before Bloomsbury decided to risk it. I nominate Rowling to be your inspirational role model for the ( Read more... )

What? Rejected by 8 WHOLE publishers????!!!

Wow! Perserverance really pays off, huh?

You could probably sue someone for writing that about you.

Poor old Jo Rowling, eh? lol.

I do feel a bit sorry for her, actually, given the backlash there's been. But she's probably crying all the way to the bank.

On some days I wouldn't mind crying all the way to the bank... except I bank online! HAHA!

Um, that doesn't make sense.

But seriously, I don't want to ever be that famous. I'm kinda hoping people will take my work (as I laughingly call it) as something unique, but if not I'd be happy to be described as the love child of C.S. Lewis and Terry Pratchett.

I've never wanted to be famous. Rich, maybe. But not famous *g* So I suppose not that rich, either, since the two seem to go hand in hand.

The horoscope is from Freewill Astrology - there's a link to it on my LJ page. The whole site is barking mad, but fun.

And as for my work being the love child of two writers - ooh, that's a tough one. P.G. Wodehouse and Emily Bronte? Though there are many more to choose from. I could be at this for some time, I think....
