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.
Mr Galbraith is both a hypocrit and a bigot.
@@jesipohl6717Wannabe.
We can only repeat her words.
"You are my hero. After so many years? Always !"
She's a terrible human
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 :)
Just c/o her publisher, name and address in the book.
Hear the voices eh? 🤨
I really like the lake and shed analogy
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!
Definition of multi-tasker.
His name is Mr. Galbraith.
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. 💙
Do waking dreamers spend most of their time on social media attacking .9% of the population?
Mr Galbraith is worthy of redicule.
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 am deeply grateful for what this woman has done to my life.
I love J.K. Rowling so much I will protect her with my life❤She is too precious!
I really like her talking about her writing process. It makes it feel very mundane an inspiring - it's like a little masterclass ^^
It makes her look dumb af
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.
Not all women and girls, just the cishet ones.
@@caspianrobins7756the real ones.
@@caspianrobins7756 Ah, the 'cis' 'het' women.... which means...women. Well done.
No, she's very anti women's rights. Have you heard literally everything she's talked about for close to a decade?
@@Bc232klm Give me two examples of how JKR is anti women's rights.
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.
Beautiful, incredible woman.
she is anti-inclusion. she's made several exclamations AGAINST the queer community.
NOT OK
@@jmsl_910 I don't care
Mr Galbraith is ahypocrit and bigot
Also a bigot. Don't forget she's also a bigot.
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.
Looking forward to more!
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!
As a struggling writer, I am so very grateful for this. Very grateful.
You are not struggling, you write! You are a writer...
Welcome Dumbledore to herr oberbeckensteins abode death has no power over you a petri dish I'm a block on a pyramid
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.! ☺️
One of the shittiest people and worst authors of all time
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!
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.
Excellent description
You are an inspiration ❤
I confess this is the first time i'm more looking at her than listening to her; she is beautiful, apart from everything else. Eternal queen.
His name is Mr. GALBRAITH
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
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.
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!
"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 sculptor, freeing the subject from their marble prison
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.
This woman is evertyhtinggggggggg ❤❤❤❤❤
Finally! Thank you ❤
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.
Praise Rowlemort the Hitlerist denying Nazi war crimes.
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.
I'd buy that book!
Not soon, FAR too busy.
Very inspiring. Thank you.
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.
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.
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!
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 ❤
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! 🥳
Thank you so much!
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.
I love the shed/lake idea. Thank you.
Thank you for this!
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.
Ive learned so much about how to plan and organize my characters and their timelines because of you. Thank you
You are amazing...I learned a lot from you.your books saved me
QUEEN👑🥰
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'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!❤
She has the rights to books no one else has I am the forgotten beasts of eld
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 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.
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.
Thank you!!!
Is that just an excel spreadsheet? Or a writing program?
I wondered the same.
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.
I can't wait for Strike 8!!!!
She is absolutely brilliant!
She must get loads of wierdos being so rich now ,but she is pure magic and i will turely never ever met her ,but to love her in a complete way would be one of lifes wonderfull wonders .But will never dee mentor happen .who ever she is with i hope it is magical and happy .
She is an amazing woman, story teller and writer. 💚.
You’re amazing! 😊
Thank you very much for sharing these experiences and methods of how you work in this wonderful profession.❤

What an inspirational writer! ❤Would love to see more of these series!
I love Harry Potter with all my heart. Me and my friends are proud to say Potter all the way!! You are one of my most favorite authors J.K, thank you for creating Hogwarts. Without it, in my worst times, I wouldnt have had a world where I felt truly and fully accepted.
@@rubyunicorn-ev2te liar, you meant Higwarts and you know it
@@AKoooooooo no. my keyboard on my phone glitched
@@rubyunicorn-ev2te you're such a liar! you totally meant higwarts!!!
very interesting
Aside from Stephen King very few Writers have spoken about "The Craft of Writing"
cornelia funke does too
Brandon Sanderson has a series of lectures on writing
A lot of writers talk about their craft. You just have to dig a little. ie John August's podcast and website is a goldmine of advice for aspiring screenwriters.
She's describing the same idea fishing style as David Lynch.
Omg I love this!!! More jk Rowling on the craft of writing please!!!!! We don’t get this enough!
Thanks for sharing this
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.
Interesting video
I could listen to her all day. Shame the crazies have chased her away.
She's more than stepped up, read her Apr. 1 tweets.
They haven’t.
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.
Rowlemort is just a bully these days.

I’ve got a big lake and a tiny little shed.
Ah ah ah, same here 😅
“My characters and I have an understanding. They won’t misbehave and I don’t put them through too much hell”
….My head: *Harry Potter looking appalled at the invalidation*
A real queen
I would like to write something profound and grandiose about how much your work mens to me. But there again you have mus heard it a milion times before. So i think simply thank you would suffice. Thank you for getting me to read. Thank you for opening a world of fantasy to me. Thank you for changing my life. Then i was 14 years old and couldnt speak english. Now im 37 and im rereading whole series in it. My next step is to translate my own wriring in to english and read it on a yotube. The world needs heroes that give us something to strive towards.
hi, i write fan-stories over on Wattpad in script
Unpublished writer here. I recognize so much in what she says. Love to hear her talking about her art
Whatever you do, don't quit - keep going.
@@howardsawyer6194 thanks
This reminds me of WH Auden's essays on the creative process. The pure creativity is the lake, and the inner critic is the shed
Such a disciplined writer ✍
& prolific!
just thanks a lot for that!❤❤❤
Mrs. Rowling, can I share an amazing story with you? One day I was driving home, when all of a sudden the Lord came to me in spirit. I felt very close to Him. I knew if I asked him to play any song on the radio he would, I guess to bless my faith.
So I said "ok, Lord play "Come as you are by Nirvana".
I turned on the radio and the song started playing right there on the spot, perfectly…
I started getting flooded with chills like a waterfall, crying, and trembling.
He stayed with me for 10 minutes in my driveway. until I got outta the car.
A couple months after that I started getting amazing prayers answered way more often, because it helped me quit doubting when I pray and I was lined up with biblical instructions. It's 6 years later and I still get answered prayers in Jesus name.
That's what I'm talking no hangers around here you like my america owl
Is that Microsoft word?
Definitely has to be word and not excel… Very interesting difference compared to her HP & The Order of The Phoenix handwritten grids... And different from the 60 min show sneak peak she gives us of the outline of HP & The Goblet of Fire.
So, I’m wondering….She has all the information on the stories in her head and notebooks and then creates a grid/outline and fills in the basics and keeps the more in depth detail in her brain and notes…. Would be cool to see how she preplanned all 7 Potter books with her outlining process. Especially early on. I love that butterfly notebook she has with the history of the Death Eaters.
Anyway, this was a wonderful interview, but for the obsessive in me I would have loved to have known other things and greedy me would want a two hour video. 🤷♂️
i like turtles
I love that i share the same planet with this woman. ❤
It’d be cool to see her talk about her university experience
Listen to her speak @ Harvard.
@@unowen-nh9ov Yeah I’ve seen it before. It’s really good. I just wish she talked about her time in Paris during 3rd year a bit more and her concern with job prospects, especially since she sorta considered her degree ‘useless’ at the time
3:04
I wish I was an anonymous writer. I don’t like fame
99% of writers can walk down the street unrecognized.
@@pwcinla I'm a nobody but I still created a mask to hide & write behind. perhaps it was growing up with Batman, Ziggy & Kendo Nagasaki ...
What word program is that on her laptop?
Why r u not writing more books on wizarding world.
Pls write books series based on 1aurors.
2 Hogwarts founders.
3.voldemort spinoff
4.quiddich series
5.different wizarding school
6.gilderoy Lockhart series just like jaxk sparrow.
Whats her website name?? Feel like it should be in the description
phenomenal writer , one of the all time greats .
currently reading Harry potter : order of the phoenix .
I fully intend to read her work over and over again & deeply analyse the craft behind all of it .
May be one day i will be able to create wonderful stories just like Miss J.K. Rowling , who set the world on fire.
Umberto Eco is all I am going to say about JK Rowling and how Hogwarts was born out of the Aedificium in "The Name of the Rose"
Amazing 🎉
queen
I have a similar place (the shed) where I write, only mine is next to a river instead of a lake; she should get back to The Private Joke one day, I'd like to see what that would be like
I love how she talked about “discovery”; how sometimes writing is not so much the act of creation and invention as it is discovering the story itself. For example, I usually know when something I’m writing is wrong. I know when it isn’t right because it doesn’t “feel right”. And it works the opposite way, too. I know when something is right because it just “feels right”, if you know what I mean?
She so damn fine
I’m curious on her thoughts about both Active and Passive Voice.📚
