JK Rowling, my hero!

I rarely mention JK Rowling to anyone without being told that she isn't a very good writer. Actually, the people who tell me that - the ones that write anyway - are hardly DH Lawrences themselves and I've yet to work out how giving reading pleasure to millions of people can come from  bad writing. But putting these things aside good writing is not the reason that Ms Rowling is my hero at the moment.

Here I am, retired mind you, moaning about how hard it is to find time to write so I can keep up my 2,000 words a week. (I.e. about as much as I can read at the Richmond Writers Circle without trying their patiences beyond reasonable endurance.) And I know that Ms Rowling would have no trouble in juggling her life to fit in that  paltry effort. Actually, I suspect that most women who can balance jobs home and family would do better than me.

So I'm just going to have to get better at snatching moments from the day and learning to be inspired to order. (End of self slap on wrist)
