JK Rowling Interview on Writing Harry Potter Books and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Since then, J.K. Rowling has written The Casual Vacancy, Cormoran Strike series and The Ickabog.
0:00 - Intro
0:51 - 01 - Read as much as you can. That’s the best way to recognize good and bad writing. In the learning process imitate your favorite writers. Persevere. It’s a career with a lot of knock backs, but the rewards are huge.
(deleted) 02 - Always be writing. Yes J.K. Rowling came up with the idea for Harry Potter instantly while on a train from London to Manchester, but before that she was “writing compulsively” from age 6 to age 25.
2:03 - 03 - Know everything about your story world and generate a lot of material. Only a small portion of that material will find a way to a final screenplay, however, your knowledge of the world will be felt by the reader.
3:49 - 04 - Meticulously plot your story, from beginning to end, from big plot points to minute details. Plotting your story is key to ensuring you have a cohesive, narrative with an effective payoff.
4:44 - 05 - Let the characters come from the deep place inside you. Let them be an exaggeration of you. If you are insecure for example, let your character overcome that insecurity.
5:38 - 06 - Secrecy and mystery are a big part of the excitement of the story. Plan your red herrings carefully and never give too much away. Even in the synopsis, trailers and marketing think how much you want to reveal.
6:26 - 07 - The urge to write often comes from a wish to rearrange the reality you're in. So draw inspiration from your unhappy teenage years, from your struggles and your hardships.
(deleted) - 08 - You’ve got to believe in your writing. J.K. Rowling would describe herself as a person with not much self-belief. But she believed in one thing in her life - she trusted herself that she can tell a good story.
8:29 - 09 - You will be criticized. But one of the wonderful things about literature, film and music is, that it's utterly subjective. You can never please everyone, so do your own thing.
9:18 - 10 - Failure will set you free. Failure will strip away all of the inessential and you can begin to direct all your energy into finishing that screenplay or any creative work that you aspire to. Rock bottom can become the solid foundation on which you can rebuild your life.

The reason why she is the GOAT is because she focused on one character’s point of view. She created beautiful supporting characters, but she didn’t get too far from Harry. That’s the difference between her and Tolkien and Sanderson and Jordan. Also Martin. Her genius is keeping the center on one character. Honestly if she wrote a book based on Hermione as minister of magic all from her point of view but third person giving her leeway (as she has always done) everyone would read it. CB strike is so similar on that way, although in that one Robin gets a lot of the main character time too. And it works. She’s so not confusing. That is why she is the GOAT.

@RabiyaRavenclaw 5 ай бұрын

Finally, someone who actually understand this, All I ever see is Tolkien and Martin fans constantly trash talk her as an author and also all of her work. Tolkien fans especially . Pure jealousy it seems to me, coz their fav author couldn't have their work half as successful as her.

@@crossface222 the reason for it perhaps be that her fantasy world is set in reality and is extremely grounded. Plus HP is more character driven while LOTR is plot driven. That's why The Hobbit is my fav work of Tolkien as it's more character driven. And as a POC, I can easily imagine myself as part of the Wizarding world, while the only way I can be part of Middle Earth is by being a Haldimir or an easterling. Tolkien has made it pretty clear that the good guys in his world are all fair/white, and the evil ones are all swarthy/dark.

#3 Know Everything About Your World, is something that is definitely getting glossed over in a lot of today's entertainment. I'm glad Rowling showed her process there of just building a world in as much detail as possible so that what finally makes it's way into the actual literature has substance and feels real to the consumer. I've seen so many recent productions in anime, Hollywood, and in video games, that have characters that are more caricature and cliches. Worlds that are random references slapped together with no cohesion between their parts. Elements that have no explanation why they are there. It's so bad that when an author produces something well thought out with a story planned in advance, the viewers act like it's a work of god tier genius. It's not. It's just what any world builder is SUPPOSED to do.

REALLY interesting advice here. I wonder what pantsers think of her saying that you should plot meticulously. I can remember that great development in 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'. I have tried plotting, but not to the degree that Rowling has in her notebooks. This makes me think I should change tack and try a more detailed grid. The 'Harry Potter' series is a great example for writing red herrings and foreshadowing-- I always admired that about Rowling's work. Has anyone seen the same thing in her Galbraith books? Excellent comments on the importance of failure.

On point 3. "Know everything about your story work": often my Background Material is 100% - 150% the length of the story itself. On piont 7. "The urge to write comes from [...] unhappy teenage years": I wish I could go back to my teenage years and just enjoy life with my friends. And yet I write to process all the things that have pissed me off in the past.

J.K Rowling was trying to say, "Create your own world and let others see the beauty therein and welcome them as they will."

Nah I think she was trying to say why she started writing and what it has done for her.

I keep my brain vomit papers in a 3 ring binder to keep it organized. I can then arrange it in the order of book and use it as my muse as I go along. I deeply feel all those random pages of frenzied jotting.

JK Rowling is brilliant - and I haven't even read her books or seen the films. But she is a hero nonetheless - and these are great tips for writing.

Jk Rowling has some great ideas here, she is a fab nice lady, one of the greatest female writers, or writers of any gender in British history.

@excession3076 14 сағат бұрын

Steady on. She is a wonderful story teller but writer? What insights into the human condition has she provided that are not plot driven? And her prose is lacking when compared to the greats of Eng. Lit. And I think she would agree, she is very honest. I love her success, proud that she's British and I admire her integrity. But there's no need to lose all perspective.

I am okay with failing be default . I do not want to be a burden to anyone and if I have a job I want to work hard at it other wise I am stealing so putting that much effort into anything leaves very little time for other things . And if you have time for other things then I have to ask you are you really giving 100 percent to the job

“Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.” Said by Winston Churchill, but could easily be a quote from JKR.
