I became a writer because of you. Not necessarily a novelist, but I've written all my life. It all traces back to finding Potter at age 11 or 12 in the 90s. I've writen short fiction, poetry, non fiction, blogs, and everything in between. Now work in marketing and constantly writing. One day I hope to finish the manuscript collecting dust in my Google Drive. I'm not sure I would've gained a passion for reading and writing if not for you. Thank you for inspiring me
I admire you tremendously, Ms. Rowling. Like you, I began telling stories at the age of 4 through drawings. I spent many years working, studying, and mostly surviving. At 71, I finally completed my first novel. Hoping readers will love it as much as I do. Thank you for your enlightening commentary and writing advice!
Congratulations, I'm still building, after my family completely destroyed my confidence during my extremely mentally abusive childhood. It's a long painful journey....best of luck!!!!
i wish she would write another Harry Potter Book not necessarily with the same character just in the same universe..shes got a gift for writing fantasy genre
J.K.Rowling made me realise how great writing something can be. Although i only started writing my own story a few months back, i already know what i want it to be.. I have put aside the story for now, but began focusing on the world in the backround. I want to see how it evolves. If i ever meet J.K i just wanna say "Thank you for inspiring me to pick up a pen and just writing."
I love how she talks about her craft and the enjoyment she finds in every stage of the process. You can absolutely tell she lives and breathes writing - a truly exceptional woman!
I love listening to her talk about writing. It's fascinating to hear about her writing process and gain a deeper insight into how she created the iconic magical universe of Harry Potter. She talks about writing as a passion, not a job. It is evident that she enjoys every second of the process! I have huge respect for her and her craft! She truly inspires many budding writers and other artists to love their craft and the ups and downs of the process!
I first started reading Harry Potter in 1998 or 1999, when I was staying at a friend's in London and saw the Philosopher's Stone lying around. I was hooked, and eagerly waited for each new book. Once the series was completed, it left a void in my life that I tried to fill with Fanfiction (there are some very, very talented people out there who borrowed your characters and wove extremely good stories with them). The more I learn about you, the more I admire your writing skills and your world-building skills. There are so many tiny elements and clues you scattered throughout the books that I missed the first time around! Thank you for creating Harry Potter's world.
The way JK Rowling shows her planning process -- the charts and tables and everything, so fascinating and such an honest peek into the making process. Thanks so so much
I'm 45. Been writing for 30 years, 35 novels written, ranging from 180k-282k words, 1000's of hours spent alone. I write because I hear the voices, and they tell me what to say. I'll always respect J.K Rowing for what she has brought to the imaginations of both children and adults. I've always wanted to write to her and thank her, but I have no idea who to send my letter to. Maybe send an owl? lol :)
Damn! If you’re that prolific and have a backlog like that, you’ve got a good chance if you’re persistent. So if you haven’t received any advice yet, here’s a bit. (All of my advice comes from writing books like Stephen King’s On Writing, which is the best) There are books that are directories of literary agents and literary magazines. The typical method is to try to get short stories published in the magazines, which give you some chops to get the attention of good agents. These stories and other tangible credits are what make you stand out from a very large crowd. Awards, social media following help too. The agent is pretty much required, since publishers get millions of unsolicited manuscripts, and they don’t even try to sort them. Go do this, please. You have a chance.
J.K.Rowling is one of those authors who is a waking dreamer...like Maggie Stiefvater. I wake up thanking the universe both of you were born to be writers! Thank you for so genuinely sharing your expertise, Rowling. 💙
Thank you for not giving up on 'Harry', and for keeping your vision when sharing him with the world. Thank you for inspiring so many young people, and thank you for staying true to you.
I love how she says that the great ideas feel like they're there waiting to be discovered as opposed to the writer creating them. I have always felt this is how writing really works. Our work has been cut out for us from the beginning. All we have to do is step up, as writers, and put it to paper. Thank you, JK.
J.K.Rowling You are my most favorite person in the world, second only to my family. Thank You for your work my hero! I wish You all the best, the rest You can imagine!
Your books got me back into reading as a child and helped inspire me to become a writer. I have loved writing since elementary school. Thank you for everything.
Thank you for Harry Potter. It has thought me about courage, life and death, and the importance of unity. It was the most important story I was told in my childhood, and has profoundly guided and shaped my moral compass to this day. It also brought my family together as my mother read us your stories, and they sparked fires in our imaginations and turned into a burning desire to write stories of my own, and pay forwards what you had given to us. You are a true inspiration and one of the defining heroes our time. Thank you.
Always you have given many colors on thought process and made my favourite Harry more handsome .you are always been an inspiration to me and for so many.thanks a lot j k Rowling .love from India.
Dear Mrs. Rowling, I'm delighted that you are brave enought to stand straight towards the vulrenable women in vulrenable situations. It's madness that the common understanding don't see the reason of segregated spaces between the men and women in the vulrenable situations, and don't stand up for the safety of the women, enforcing 'the priviledge' of others, ... Madness! Thank you, for the behalf of standing for the right causes.
Wow! That was fascinating. Hearing the process from such a fabulous writer is very inspiring. For my books, I love to spend time on research and add little details people will discover as they delve into the series. I can't wait to watch the following video in this series and see what she has in store for us.
One of the most amazing creatives and storytellers of all-time! 🙌 you, as well as your stories, have been a tremendous inspiration in my own storytelling journey. THANK YOU J.K.! ☺️
This is a very even-headed lady with smart things to say...can't believe woke people bash her just cos they woke up one day and decided they needed somebody to be mad at. Keep going!!
Just in case you are interested in feedback - this is the third time I've watched this through. Very helpful (calming) - even when writing non-fiction no one reads - especially when no one reads! Thank you.
Wonderful. JKR will.always be a fantastic writer of the 21st Century, but she is also a stalwart for women's rights. How many of us can impact so many lives in so many ways. Thank you, JK, for all women and girls, and for all the children who loved reading because of your work.
@@applesandpears9756Which means some women. There’s a reason she’s called a TERF (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist). And, making people go to the bathroom that fits that sex assigned at birth would be worse. Then, trans men would be forced to use the women’s bathroom, which seems like it would hurt women more than actual women using the bathroom (and the trans men too).
I'm so glad this exists! She is the reason I started writing and still do. I feel like my experience writing is so similar too! I love hearing her talk about it!
I am an Author who, thanks to Joanne - over came the darkest most evil time in my life. Rock bottom is a solid foundation on which you can rebuild your life - Joanne, THANK You for you! You saved my life, you've kept me going and most importantly you helped me find my true calling ❤
Who chased her away? She’s on Twitter every day. Even Elon Musk had to ask her to tweet about something else because she’s constantly tweeting about a certain subject.
"It feels like discovery rather than creation." I think, this remark on her character backstory creation sheds lots of light on why her characters are so "real". Never shallow. Always psychologically consistent. They make sense, even and especially, when their actions don't. Also explains, why great writers need to be very empathic.
Like a hypocrit who hates trans people showing how much they despise all women, by choosing a man's name to sell more books. Mr Galbraith is just a bigot.
Thank you for being a writer who really takes pride in your work, it really comes through and makes your books much more immersive. Other authors do not put in the same effort.
I love her so much! I so hope that she writes her autobiography one day soon. It'll be fascinating to learn more about her upbringing and other things she's been through that she hasn't publicly shared and how it all shaped her.
Ooh, I love this! My first experiences with writing were when I played on my mom's typewriter. I must have been 4-5 years old. And I was always telling/creating stories.
Fascinating insights. Her comment about fiction writers being the people who are happy spending all their time in imaginary worlds is so true. I love writing and worked so hard on my storytelling, but it took me years to admit to myself I felt more fulfilled by doing other types of work than making up stories.
What amazes me is that after writing the Harry Potter series, she still loves writing. The Cormoran Strike books are almost too detailed, but I do enjoy them. She is a very organized planner of her books, which I suppose is critical for a detective story. One thing she excelled at in Harry Potter was character names. Some authors throw a bunch of names at readers and we get confused about who's who. The HP characters always seemed to immediately embed themselves in my brain, and she introduced them slowly. Having good character names is an important writing tool but never mentioned. I remember in the 1970s when Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt character was mentioned. (Ugh!)
I'm an aspiring writer, and I look at J.K. Rowling as an inspirational figure. Outrage and cancel culture almost tainted my appreciation for her, but informative research and critical thinking dragged me out of the rabbit hole. Keep fighting for the safety of children, and the free speech and agency of women. We need more people with common sense, rational minds, and humility.
this inspires me and is motivating me to continue my work. I hit a little existential snafu, but I'm slowly seeing the light again. I am grateful this vid appeared on my feed. cheers!
She once said her Myers’s Brigg type was INFJ. Mine too. Her thought process, inner motifs, future thinking, discovering rather than constructing ideas…I relate to it all.
Im 29. Joanna, thank you for the wonderful books. While I was at school, I read all the books. They just came out year after year as I moved up the grade. I read “Prisoner of Azkaban” in 2 days, I couldn’t put it down. But my favorite books are “ Goblet of Fire", "Order of the Phoenix" and "Half-Blood Prince" (I used Google translator from Russian. Sorry if there are mistakes or the meaning is conveyed incorrectly).
This is really helpful, in terms of stories when I have the idea for an end of something but feel thats not enough to justify forming a story from start to finish to begin with, and get lost trying to get from the start to the finish, but I can see getting over that hurdle is part of the learning process.
Dear Ms Rowling 🌹✨Thank you so much for this wonderful insight into your writing process! I love your mental image of a lake and a shed. I can walk around the lake for ages and get lots of ideas. But later, in the shed, my perfectionist inner critic keeps telling me that I was too stupid to use the tools that are neatly hung on the walls. He says that instead of making something beautiful out of the flotsam and jetsam in my bucket and net, I'll just mess it all up. You see, the inner critic expects me to come up with printable sentences in the crappy first draft! He doesn't understand that if he doesn't let me write, he won't have anything to nitpick about in the end. Unfortunately, my inner despot seems to be resistant to logic. So I guess I should have someone stand behind my chair with the thickest book available and hit me with it as soon as I start editing, correcting and deleting lines, instead of soldiering on and finishing my first draft. I'm sooo looking forward to watching part two! 🥳
Knowing early: People who were five to eight years old when I was six still remember me as a fantastic storyteller at six years old. They even remember the stories. I was always going to be a writer. I had a head injury as a child that doesn't seem to have affected me but worried my parents to death and my mother once came out into the yard where I was playing a highly imaginative story (by myself) and asked me if I knew I was playing or if I thought it was real. I assured her (I was five at the time) that it was a story (I was wearing a costume at the time for God's sake). So, I got my first real writer's job, on staff, at a weekly newspaper at 17 (graduated high school early) and never looked back. I was gratified when I revisited my old town and people remembered me (30 years later) as a writer for the paper (and they thought I was good). Have won small awards in poetry and screenplay and a whole wall full of journalism awards. Working on a play, now. Hope to be writing when I die.
Really admire jk Rowling and her body of work.. plus her standing up and saying what she thinks/feels. ... Love the harry potter world and I can remember telling people about the first book and in letters to people yes that's right letters.. I would copy passages that I loved and hoped would get them to read the book too...
Mr Galbraith is a hypocrit and bigot, just my thoughts and feelings. Her corpus will end up being the vindictive she spews on social media. Already more young people know her for this than having read Harry Potter themselves. So sad.
@@janeandclementine J. K. Rowling is a feminist whose exclusive form of feminism is going after trans women. WOMEN. If feminism is hurting women, then it isn't feminism. It's just transphobia. And if you don't know that you're either living under a rock or a hateful terrible person.
When you can create something that results in a northern English working class 'bloke' that likes rock music, motorbikes, and beer, lots of beer, wanting to spend his 40th birthday at the Harry Potter studio tour ( i got to open the Great Hall doors at the beginning of the tour) and collecting all kinds of Harry Potter memorabilia youre doing something right,
I don't give a fuck about any of these sensitive snowflakes who love taking stuff out of context; this woman is a LEGEND, and she should be proud, not just of the work she's done, but also being impoverished, a single mother on welfare, and turning everything around. I wish I could do 1/10th of what she's accomplished.
a nice gift to me on my birthday! I love listening to authors. I love talking about my writing. One day, I’d love to talk to a fellow author, face to face. I write by the seat of my pants, with no planning, following the thread wherever it leads, outlining as I go. My plot, my characters, constantly throw me curveballs. Writing for me is as fun as reading, it is the funnest thing I’ve over done.
I suspect she doesn't want to give away her secrets about narrative misdirection too much, but if you really study it in her writing yourself it's fascinating. She's one of the only authors alive to put so much effort into mystery right now (which is in my opinion a more dynamic and superior way of writing). I don't know why other authors never care about adding mystery as much.
This is a lovely video. As a child, I wished I might someday become a writer. I loved immersing myself in fiction. But now I fear that we're entering a dark age. The age of decadence is over. It saddens me, but Western society needs fewer writers and more doers.
If you remove whatever JKR has said, remove the context of her controversies and just look at it as a person who stood up for their beliefs against the mainstream: I think JKR is incredibly brave and admirable. She sacrificed being one of the most beloved children’s authors of all time to fight for something she believes in knowing full well how people behave on the internet and what will happen to her. JKR is not scared of other people’s opinions of her. She doesn’t need validation from others. That’s power. I wish I had that sort of strength of character. It angers me that JKR will never feature on books like Little People Big Dreams because she’s become the scapegoat of toxic trans activism’s frustrations. JKr couldn’t be more gentle in her criticisms of some of the trans movement. If she is “evil” then everyone is, in some way, irredeemable. People need to take Voltaire’s words more to heart: “I may not agree with you, But I defend you to the death your right to say it”
Ridiculous!!! If you're a hateful person keep to yourself!!! She made accusations from her pulpit based on superficial judgement like kids in elementary school do, but we should respect her, give me a break!!!! No one should disparage anyone without cause, especially a billionaire just because she's bored, I say that based on her own comments!!!!
I love her. I had to replay the silkworm part because I have a silkworm cultivator in my book, and I'm currently working on that part of the book. I was like, did she just say silkworm? Yup.It's a sign.
Greatly enjoyed hearing your insights into your writing. I have admired your books and work for years and look forward to many more great titles from your pen! Thank you for being so dedicated to your craft.
I don't know if you're taking listener questions, but how did you balance the novel-writing process with your responsibilities to your kids? Both take up so much mental energy!
Even at 42 years old, I still find Harry Potter to be a masterpiece. One of the greatest achievements of storytelling of all time
Something about her presence always makes me feel like I’m listening to a queen, someone with some rare noble quality that must be respected.
I became a writer because of you. Not necessarily a novelist, but I've written all my life. It all traces back to finding Potter at age 11 or 12 in the 90s. I've writen short fiction, poetry, non fiction, blogs, and everything in between. Now work in marketing and constantly writing. One day I hope to finish the manuscript collecting dust in my Google Drive. I'm not sure I would've gained a passion for reading and writing if not for you. Thank you for inspiring me
I want to read it when you’re finished! Keep going!
Good luck, Chris!
Damn your hero is a shitty human and worse author.

She is a very organized planner of her books, which I suppose is critical for a detective story. One thing she excelled at in Harry Potter was character names. Some authors throw a bunch of names at readers and we get confused about who's who. The HP characters always seemed to immediately embed themselves in my brain, and she introduced them slowly. Having good character names is an important writing tool but never mentioned. I remember in the 1970s when Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt character was mentioned. (Ugh!)
I'm an aspiring writer, and I look at J.K. Rowling as an inspirational figure. Outrage and cancel culture almost tainted my appreciation for her, but informative research and critical thinking dragged me out of the rabbit hole. Keep fighting for the safety of children, and the free speech and agency of women. We need more people with common sense, rational minds, and humility.
I'm so excited to know that will be other books!!!! Can't wait!!! I love when she talks and explaining her process and what she does as a writer!❤
I can't wait for Strike 8!!!!
She is absolutely brilliant!
People might hate her stance on social politics but this lady is special. It takes a lot to latch onto your ideas and have a vision for yourself
I would love to see you on podcasts!
She’s too good for that. Most podcasts nowadays are trash.
@@wesleytwiggs7687 it depends which one for sure! She was on one, the witch trials of JK Rowling. Brilliant podcast! Though wish she would do more
this inspires me and is motivating me to continue my work. I hit a little existential snafu, but I'm slowly seeing the light again. I am grateful this vid appeared on my feed. cheers!
She once said her Myers’s Brigg type was INFJ. Mine too. Her thought process, inner motifs, future thinking, discovering rather than constructing ideas…I relate to it all.
Im 29. Joanna, thank you for the wonderful books. While I was at school, I read all the books. They just came out year after year as I moved up the grade. I read “Prisoner of Azkaban” in 2 days, I couldn’t put it down. But my favorite books are “ Goblet of Fire", "Order of the Phoenix" and "Half-Blood Prince" (I used Google translator from Russian. Sorry if there are mistakes or the meaning is conveyed incorrectly).
This is really helpful, in terms of stories when I have the idea for an end of something but feel thats not enough to justify forming a story from start to finish to begin with, and get lost trying to get from the start to the finish, but I can see getting over that hurdle is part of the learning process.
What a great role model
Dear Ms Rowling 🌹✨Thank you so much for this wonderful insight into your writing process! I love your mental image of a lake and a shed. I can walk around the lake for ages and get lots of ideas. But later, in the shed, my perfectionist inner critic keeps telling me that I was too stupid to use the tools that are neatly hung on the walls. He says that instead of making something beautiful out of the flotsam and jetsam in my bucket and net, I'll just mess it all up. You see, the inner critic expects me to come up with printable sentences in the crappy first draft! He doesn't understand that if he doesn't let me write, he won't have anything to nitpick about in the end.
Unfortunately, my inner despot seems to be resistant to logic. So I guess I should have someone stand behind my chair with the thickest book available and hit me with it as soon as I start editing, correcting and deleting lines, instead of soldiering on and finishing my first draft.
I'm sooo looking forward to watching part two! 🥳
Knowing early: People who were five to eight years old when I was six still remember me as a fantastic storyteller at six years old. They even remember the stories. I was always going to be a writer. I had a head injury as a child that doesn't seem to have affected me but worried my parents to death and my mother once came out into the yard where I was playing a highly imaginative story (by myself) and asked me if I knew I was playing or if I thought it was real. I assured her (I was five at the time) that it was a story (I was wearing a costume at the time for God's sake). So, I got my first real writer's job, on staff, at a weekly newspaper at 17 (graduated high school early) and never looked back. I was gratified when I revisited my old town and people remembered me (30 years later) as a writer for the paper (and they thought I was good). Have won small awards in poetry and screenplay and a whole wall full of journalism awards. Working on a play, now. Hope to be writing when I die.
Really admire jk Rowling and her body of work.. plus her standing up and saying what she thinks/feels. ... Love the harry potter world and I can remember telling people about the first book and in letters to people yes that's right letters.. I would copy passages that I loved and hoped would get them to read the book too...
Mr Galbraith is a hypocrit and bigot, just my thoughts and feelings.
Her corpus will end up being the vindictive she spews on social media. Already more young people know her for this than having read Harry Potter themselves.
So sad.
She is an amazing woman!
You living under a rock or something?
@@caspianrobins7756huh?
@@janeandclementine J. K. Rowling is a feminist whose exclusive form of feminism is going after trans women. WOMEN. If feminism is hurting women, then it isn't feminism. It's just transphobia. And if you don't know that you're either living under a rock or a hateful terrible person.
@@caspianrobins7756 Why? Don’t you think she is amazing? I highly suggest you to check her out!
@@caspianrobins7756 Why, don’t you think so? I highly recommend you to check her out!
❤❤❤ thank you mam
What an inspirational writer! ❤Would love to see more of these series!
You are an inspiration ❤
You are such an inspiration, i swear i feel the same towards my writing, all what your saying makes perfect sense ❤️
When you can create something that results in a northern English working class 'bloke' that likes rock music, motorbikes, and beer, lots of beer, wanting to spend his 40th birthday at the Harry Potter studio tour ( i got to open the Great Hall doors at the beginning of the tour) and collecting all kinds of Harry Potter memorabilia youre doing something right,
I'm a huge fan of wizards and witches and magic
What an amazing woman. Pure genius.
I don't give a fuck about any of these sensitive snowflakes who love taking stuff out of context; this woman is a LEGEND, and she should be proud, not just of the work she's done, but also being impoverished, a single mother on welfare, and turning everything around. I wish I could do 1/10th of what she's accomplished.
Pearls and then every gem you could fathom.
a nice gift to me on my birthday! I love listening to authors. I love talking about my writing. One day, I’d love to talk to a fellow author, face to face. I write by the seat of my pants, with no planning, following the thread wherever it leads, outlining as I go. My plot, my characters, constantly throw me curveballs. Writing for me is as fun as reading, it is the funnest thing I’ve over done.
Will we ever see her book dedicated to writing?
I hope she does write one. It's enriching as a writer to hear other writers talk about the craft.
She's too busy writing books to write about writing them.
I suspect she doesn't want to give away her secrets about narrative misdirection too much, but if you really study it in her writing yourself it's fascinating. She's one of the only authors alive to put so much effort into mystery right now (which is in my opinion a more dynamic and superior way of writing). I don't know why other authors never care about adding mystery as much.
Finally! Thank you ❤
This is a lovely video. As a child, I wished I might someday become a writer. I loved immersing myself in fiction. But now I fear that we're entering a dark age. The age of decadence is over. It saddens me, but Western society needs fewer writers and more doers.
She's describing the same idea fishing style as David Lynch.
If you remove whatever JKR has said, remove the context of her controversies and just look at it as a person who stood up for their beliefs against the mainstream: I think JKR is incredibly brave and admirable. She sacrificed being one of the most beloved children’s authors of all time to fight for something she believes in knowing full well how people behave on the internet and what will happen to her. JKR is not scared of other people’s opinions of her. She doesn’t need validation from others. That’s power. I wish I had that sort of strength of character.
It angers me that JKR will never feature on books like Little People Big Dreams because she’s become the scapegoat of toxic trans activism’s frustrations. JKr couldn’t be more gentle in her criticisms of some of the trans movement. If she is “evil” then everyone is, in some way, irredeemable.
People need to take Voltaire’s words more to heart: “I may not agree with you, But I defend you to the death your right to say it”
you are transphobic
Circle those douche wagons!
Ridiculous!!! If you're a hateful person keep to yourself!!! She made accusations from her pulpit based on superficial judgement like kids in elementary school do, but we should respect her, give me a break!!!! No one should disparage anyone without cause, especially a billionaire just because she's bored, I say that based on her own comments!!!!
OK holocaust denier.
I love her. I had to replay the silkworm part because I have a silkworm cultivator in my book, and I'm currently working on that part of the book. I was like, did she just say silkworm? Yup.It's a sign.
love that imagery.. 🙂
Excellent description
This woman is evertyhtinggggggggg ❤❤❤❤❤
Phenomenal 💙
❤thank you for amazing books 📚. Thank you for safe place to which it’s always possible to return. You‘re inspiring💜💛🦄.
Greatly enjoyed hearing your insights into your writing. I have admired your books and work for years and look forward to many more great titles from your pen! Thank you for being so dedicated to your craft.
I don't know if you're taking listener questions, but how did you balance the novel-writing process with your responsibilities to your kids? Both take up so much mental energy!
HP has helped raise many kids.
