Every person in this world have
their own dark life time. To get out from dark time every peson have their own
way too. But this time, I want to tell you how JK Rowling can get out from her
dark life time. Her way to get out motivated me..
Joanne Rowling
as known as JK Rowling was born on 31st July 1965 at Yate,
Gloucestershire is a British writer and author of the Harry Potter
fantasy series, the idea came to her whilst on a train journey in 1990 and she
wrote her first story in Edinburgh. Her books have gained worldwide attention,
won many awards, and sold nearly 400 million copies.
In
1990, while she was on a delayed train trip from Manchester to London, the idea
for a story of a young boy attending a school of wizardry "came fully
formed" into her mind. When she had reached her Clapham Junction flat, she
began to write immediately. However, in December of that year, Rowling's mother
succumbed to a 10 year battle with multiple sclerosis. Rowling said this death
heavily affected her writing and that she introduced much more detail about
Harry's loss in the first book, because she knew about how it felt.
“Nine
months after my mother’s death, desperate to get away for a while, I left for
Portugal. I took with me the still-growing manuscript of Harry Potter, hopeful
that my new working hours (I taught in the afternoon and evening) would lend
themselves to pressing on with my novel. “
Before she
success, in 1991 she moved to Portugal, in this time her dark life time is
started, “I had
failed on an epic scale. An exceptionally short-lived marriage had imploded …
and the fears of my parents, and those I’d had for myself, had both come to
pass. By every usual standard, I was the biggest failure I knew.”
The manuscript had
changed a lot since her mother had died. Now, Harry's feelings about his dead
parents had become much deeper; much stronger; much more real, somehow. In those first weeks in Portugal she wrote
what has become her favourite chapter in the Sorcerer's Stone, "The Mirror of Erised" – and had hoped
that, when she returned from Portugal he would have a finished book under her
arm. In fact, she had something even better: her daughter, Jessica.
Being
unemployed and living on state benefits, Rowling completed her first novel in
numerous cafés in Edinburgh and since then she has received world wide success,
encouraging children and adults to get back into reading.
In 2000, Rowling established the Volant
Charitable Trust, which aids women and children, and to combat poverty and
social inequality. The fund also gives to organisations that aid children, one
parent families, and multiple sclerosis research. Rowling said, "I think you have a moral
responsibility when you've been given far more than you need, to do wise things
with it and give intelligently."
Rowling has contributed money and support
for research and treatment of multiple sclerosis, from which her mother died in
1990. In 2006, Rowling contributed a substantial sum toward the creation of a
new Centre for Regenerative Medicine at Edinburgh University. "I am an extraordinarily lucky person, doing what I love best in the
world. I'm sure that I will always be a writer. It was wonderful enough just to
be published. The greatest reward is the enthusiasm of the readers."
She is an inspiration to both adults and
children through her writing. The Harry Potter series has encouraged children
and adults to read. Also her achievements as an author have inspired other

her husband. Then she being unemployed, her book harry potter refuse in
