I'm writing every day which gives me time in an imaginary world, but autobiography is a very different thing! When real life gets demanding, I find a good way of pushing through is to pick something you know you'll enjoy writing, however short, just to get some ink on the paper.
I created a lot of world in the seven years before the Philospher's Stone was published. I needed to know the laws and boundaries, especially what magic could and couldn't do, and how certain bits, eg, Ministry of Magic, worked. Then I extended as I went!
Of the Potters, Prisoner of Azkaban. I was in a more financially secure place, Pottermania wasn't yet overwhelming and my daughter had started school. For the first time, I had hours a day to write and that book just wrote itself.
Parents, teachers and carers working to keep children amused and interested while we’re on lockdown might need a bit of magic, so I’m delighted to launch https://t.co/cPg0dZpexB
@BakeyFilms All the excitement and it was just a rebranding… to try and make the play (which isn’t canon in my eyes) appear more official as an eighth canon story. There’s a small article on it on Pottermore⚡️
