Now that I am finally over my Twilight rant, for now at least, let's move on to my favorite author. This author has been a part of my life since I was six years old when I first picked up one of her books and I was completely blown away by her style of writing and the whole magical world that she created. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling was the first chapter book I had ever read and from the first page I was hooked. Once I finished reading it I immediately started begging my family for the whole series and as more books of the series started coming out I had to get them the day they came out or not I would die. J.K. Rowling is as amazing writer and has inspired me from day one.
Joanne Katherine Rowling started writing the first Harry Potter book in the early 1990's. Little did she know what a huge success it would be. She started writing the book on a napkin in a coffee shop that she was at and she had so many ideas that she continued from there. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone took forever to finish, mainly because she was writing a little bit of all seven books at once.
What I find amazing about her is that she knew how the Harry Potter series would end from the very beginning. She knew every character that she would add on in later books and what characters would leave the story at certain times. Because of this all the books are tied together in a way that no other novel series has done before. From the very first book you receive clues about what would happen in the 3rd, 5th, and even the 7th book.
J.K . Rowling has gotten a lot of credit for her work. Why do you think that she is even richer than the Queen Elizabeth II. Ever since I wanted to become a writer I looked to her as an example. Other writers have influenced me in many ways but there is only one author who was there from the very beginning. When I was growing up Harry Potter was my getaway into a different universe. It was a way to leave my life and not think about the pressures of growing up. Now Harry Potter and his friends are characters that are like my second family. Reading the books are a comfort for me and a great learning experience as I find out more and more about J.K. Rowling's writing style and her skill. Harry Potter will always be a part of my heart and I thank J.K. Rowling everyday for being the inspiration that keeps me going in this crazy business of us authors.
