Q: How would you like to be remembered?
J. K. Rowling: As someone who did the best she could with the talent she had.

The more I learn of J K Rowling the more I like her. She's such a good person, well-deserving of the "fairy tale life" she's living now. She earned them.

Oh, and I found this old entry from way-back-when:

Lol :D I remember being a kid and taking it for granted that books were good. Every bloody thing I read was absolutely effing amazing. And then you get older and relaise that it isn't. And then you get a little older and discover fanfiction and you realise that many people have missed their calling (Lamiel) when others suckers are getting published.

Also... look what I found... :D

The dwarves delved too greedily and too deep...

I didn't read much growing up. Very little, in fact. I do remember the two books I came across when I was still in grade 1 and 2, though it was many years, not until I read Lord of the Rings, that I understood why they affected me, and their import was revealed. They were "The Nutcracker" and "Sir Gawain and the Loathy Lady", both books stolen from the school library. I have no idea how I got away with it.

This is a whacky world we live in, when books like Twilight are celebrated and an author like Lamiel is left in the dark. But then again, we don't know Lamiel, it could be she doesn't want to be a writer and is happy with how things are. Thank god we have the linkes of J K Rowling and Susanna Clarke to balance things out. It's the wait between publications that's frustrating me most. I want good fairy stories, and I want them now!;)

I can't upload the moodtheme, I don't have a paid account:( Still downloaded them, though;)
