JK Rowling is suing an American for his Harry Potter Lexicon and in the process she is saying that she is losing the "will to write."
First off JK, how many times are you going to bust out this line of "I am losing the will to write" "I want to stop writing because I don't want anything to happen to the characters" "I just can't finish it"
But you ALWAYS keep writing, why? THE MONEY. Don't pretend like you "couldn't possibly finish it" because then you wouldn't get paid. I remember you once saying that you "wanted to break your arm" so you wouldn't write the next part. Ummm then you would have just had to wait until it healed.
I have an idea, you don't want a character to die, DON'T KILL HIM OFF IN THE BOOK. YOU ARE THE AUTHOR. YOU HAVE CONTROL.
(Continuing on this note, we knew you were never going to kill off Harry. Then your cash cow would be dead. Even though you said this was your last book, you didn't kill him off, just in case your money somehow ran out I am guessing. If you really wanted that to be it, kill the dude off. But you didn't. SHOCKER!)
But back to this law suit. You are angry that a guy in America is making money off your Harry Potter character by "plagiarizing" your work. Hmmmm interesting. Move along from the fact that he is simply putting your works into an encyclopedia-like form. Nothing wrong with that. What you are REALLY pissed about is he is doing it now and you wanted to do it in 2-3 years (according to the AP article) but you are afraid people will buy his and not want to buy yours. Ummm you wrote the books and made all of the money already. Someone else in a different country wants to do this where your copyright laws don't have grounds and you are angry.
Interesting.....
You know what JK, go ahead and lose the will to write already. I am sick of your drama that YOU like to create. I guess you were out of the spotlight for too long, so you jumped back in by creating this story.
And the worst part of the article...reading that you had three kids, but it was a ficticious character that brought you sanity. From the salon.com piece.. "In sometimes emotional testimony, Rowling recalled starting work on the first book in 1991 when she was 25 and so destitute that she sometimes had to choose between buying typewriter ribbon and food. She said the Harry Potter characters helped her escape from the hard work of raising a child on welfare.
"It was a place into which I liked to vanish, and it was a discipline that was very important in keeping me sane," she said.
That is kind of messed up. How about you love your kids the way you loved Harry. Buy them food when they are hungry, maybe? Or did they eat the paper when you messed up an episode of the Golden Child Harry?
All I am saying JK is just admit that you are a spotlight whore and this is all it is. You want MO Money, even though you have more than anyone could EVER want. You want for everyday at 8:13am for people to think about you for 12 minutes. You know you do. I am just sick of your constant need for attention.
Write a book or don't. but make a decision QUIETLY and get on with your life so I can get along with mine without yahoo putting your lastest fart on its homepage!
