JKR still writing in cafes
"I will continue writing for children because that's what I enjoy," reveals Jo, who greatly misses the child wizard. "It's left me with the biggest emptiness in my life." She will, however, leave behind the magical world of Hogwarts. "I believe that it's good for me and good for my readers that I bring myself to work on something different," she declares.
In a search for inspiration, Jo discloses that she has returned to the Edinburgh cafes where she completed her first novel while unemployed and living on benefits: "I am very good at finding a suitable cafe. I blend into the crowd and, of course, I don't sit in the middle of the bar staring all around me. In 90 per cent of cases, it's the cafe's staff who allow me to work without being bothered."

kewl for her :) first post??!!
Wow I would have thought that she writes some place where people wont bother her all the time. First!
she said she's not being bothered so its ok. its good that she can still write comfotably there. cant wait to read it!
That's pretty cool that she's still doing that after all these years... =)
I wonder what it will be about. I wanna get it!
that's great. it would be so cool to live in edinburgh. i'm glad people don't bother her though. Hm contradiction much?
YAY! A new story. I like to write at Starbucks. :-)
Yeah... She's The Author of our boy who lived and she's the one who will feel empty of all people that now Hp ended... I feel empty too but hey Hp fans are nice enough to make fanfictions!!! Hp made my life happier that it could ever be!!!! Love you JK!!!! I'll definitely will keep reading some her books!!!.. Thanks God for guiding the woman that we became to know as the author of our the boy who live and the magical world!!!!!!!
That's great! But you know, any story she writes now will never be like Harry Potter. :( Which is so sad. But her stories are going to be great - you can be sure of that. :D
coool!
Fair play to her for doing what she loves best!!!!!
I can't wait to read her next book!! She is just absolutely brilliant!! Jo is my hero :)
Good for her. After all she got famous for writing her book there, but wouldn't she get bombarded by fans or paparazzi?
A new book! A new book! A new book! A new book! A new book!
Yea I kinda figured she would be still doing that wich is really good. Knowing that she has decided to write an entiterly diffrent story. This is most wonderful.
awww,deathly hallows was the last one?I was hoping for more Harry Potter books
I write in Cafes... It's a great place to write in! I write 50% of my fanfictions in cafes. (The rest I write at night by moonlight or candle. It's easier to picture the characters in the dark) Go Jo! And of course it doesn't matter if you leave coffee til it's cold because with your riches... that's 100,000,000,00 coffees right there. :P
Neat!
Good! But im gunna miss Harry. Im gunna cry when the last film or films comes out!
kool
its good she's writing more books..but i'm going to miss haryy ): alot
Cool that she's still writing! :) I still wonder.. what IS a political fairy tale?!?
i think she should write an epologue or the story from another persons point of view.
Thats cool that she can still go to Cafes and write without being bothered!
'Jo, who greatly misses the child wizard. "It's left me with the biggest emptiness in my life."'
OK, SO MY OTHER POST (POST #25) WAS SUPPOSSED TO SAY: 'Jo, who greatly misses the child wizard. "It's left me with the biggest emptiness in my life."'
ok os both of my posts before were suppossed to have stuff after the quote from the article, but it ovbiously didnt work. urgg...
cool good for jo
I'm guessing the books that she will write will not be for adults too, like Harry Potter?
wow what can i say other than this is the greastest news ever except for my i found out my grandfather got me the book the morning it was released!!!!!!! now i feel more ready to take on the world, hopfully as much as i did when i was reading the harry potter series for the first time ever! i dont know if it will be better than the series but i definatly know that watever she decides to write it be inspirational, have its own meanings about life and that no matter wat this book (or books) will most likly mark itself down as one of the greatest book (or books) of all time just like the harry potter series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-w ish all the best of luck when the book is released
cool! awesome thats great top 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
She is so cool, to be able to just go on with her life after so many years. Jo, you are my hero! You were probably more obsessed than any of us!
ye-ah!! im glad shes writing more books! =) im gonna miss harry, ron, hermione, and all them though =( soo sad, i still think she should write about marauders now that would be such a good series itd b he-lar-i-ous too
thats nice it must be meaningful for her to come full circle. to the person who is surprised Deathly Hallows was the last in the HP series, are you an idiot? are you perhaps living under a rock? you know this is a website for Harry Potter FANS, right??? *takes deep and calming breath* i would think that a "political fairy tale" would be a little like artemis fowl by eoin colfer which is freakin' hilarious and very good, or maybe terry pratchet.
Wow that's cool she is still writing in cafes. Yes that is how i feel too with Harry Potter being overwith like an emptiness inside,i mean i will always have every Harry Potter book forever,but just to have nothing new of Harry Potter to look forward too just seems odd,and it will take me awhile to get used to not having a new Harry Potter book to wait for,countdown too,and speculate about:(. It's really upsetting to think we won't go back to a new adventure at Hogwarts with Harry,Ron,and Hermione and company. I don't know if anyone said this before but i will read anything JK Rowling writes,but nothing will ever top Harry Potter for me ever. Harry Potter is my favortie book series,will be forever,and i am a 100% devoted fan of Harry Potter,and have been since day one since the first book ever came out,and will be forever,and all of my life HP is tops.
i know, i think we all have a "sense of emptiness inside". it was hard for me to adjust to after DH, i felt like i should be waiting for number 8! i think if she does ever write anything else, we must read and appreciate it for its own merits, adn not compare it to HP, because nothing COULD compare to HP, its like no other book, it is an entity onto itself.
I love those books and authors too KaitlinM,they are among my other favorties. I also like The Inheritance series which is Eragon/Eldest,His Dark Materials,The Spiderwick Chronicles,Narnia,Lemony Snicket,Pendragon,Lord Of The Rings,and so much more. But like i said before nothing will ever top Harry Potter for me ever. Harry Potter is my favortie book series,will be forever,and i am a 100% devoted fan of Harry Potter,and have been since day one since the first book ever came out,and will be forever,and all of my life HP is tops.
This news post just made me go awwww - I love that she's still writing in caf
I guess this must feel like a full circle. She started writing in a cafe and now she is back to start again.
yeah, theres a lot of good books out there, but HP is different, its just really special
: )
Whatever book JKR writes I will read. She got me passionate for reading and writing. I thank her for it. If it wasn't for her, I'll be still doing speech therapy.
i love that she still writes in cafes....i too do my best work in cafes :-D jkr
I'm exited... Hopefully it will be just as good as Harry Potter. Jo is brilliant! Still, it probbably won't come out for several years.. I still vote she makes a prologe with Marauders. (But then I would be dissapointed because I wouldn't get to see Remus and Sirius together! *tear*)
It's cool how she's writing more books!! Whatever it is i definately going to read it!! But it will never beat harry potter!!! I mean the harry potter series changed my life and i absoloutly thank jo for doing that!! When the last film is out i'm going to burst in tears...now i'm looking forward for the next 2 films but when they r finished...it's all over!!! But not nessessarly...there is going to be a hp theme park and ppl r still writing fanfiction!!! I must thank jo for creating the story of the boy who lived in a magical world. Harry,Ron and Hermione FOREVER!!!!!!
I will read what ever she writes. She's such a good author so way to go J.K Rowling.
even though im reaallly bummed about no more harry potter books, i agree with the decision. Harry's story has been told and there's nuthin bookworthy that happens after the epilogue. But a book or series on either A-the origional hogwarts founders, B-adventures of albus severus, james sirius, and the second generation cast of characters, or C-the adventures of the maruaders. But whatever you do JO, good luck (not that you need it) and we're all behind you.
let's hope the next book from her is as good as the magical series and that real soon we have the final book book about the magic world.
I hope they are as good as the harry potters!! :)
wow. thats sorta weird. I guess i will never be ready for the time when i will be reading a Jk rowling authored book that isn't Harry Potter. i grew up with Harry and JK Rowling. I cried at every page in DH in the last few chapters. Oh, what the heck I cried in the last few chapters of every book being sad that they're over. Well, now i can read FanFics. They pass my time. GO JK ROWLING WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!
