"FEBRUARY 28th
This always happens. I make a plan, it looks nice and neat, then I get
to actually write the book and realise that Harry can't possibly do all
that in just one chapter. So what I thought were going to be two
chapters have now become four. I still don't think the book will be as
long as 'Phoenix', but if that keeps happening... no, it won't. I'm
looking at the plan, and it can't. Surely. Please.
Nothing else I can tell you at the moment. Well, there's LOADS I could
tell you at the moment, but I can't. Sorry."
(PD: Jo, you really think we might protest if book 7 is longer than
Phoenix?)
Also, i Rubbish section:
"*According to a British newspaper, I recently appeared at a Brazilian
literary festival. And was I content to take home a nice bit of pottery
or leatherwork as a souvenir**?
No, not good enough for JK. I decided to buy myself a palatial Brazilian
holiday home while I was there.
If any Brazilian Harry Potter fans are reading this and wondering why
they never got the chance to buy tickets to hear me read, it's because
I've never been to Brazil. And if any Brazilian property dealers are
wondering why they didn't get my business, it's because I've never
bought a house in Brazil, either. Not even the sumptuous colonial-style
mansion, whose grounds nudge the edge of a forest, described in the article.
My imaginary neighbour was Mick Jagger, too. I'd say you couldn't make
it up... except someone has."
WTF...?

I love her. She seems so down to earth. She actually talks like a
real person to her fans!

Yeah, but she should update more often. I've met people much busier than
she is and update their blogs every day (and even twice a day!)

Would you really object if she felt that to do it properly she wrote
two, three, or even four more books; one for each horcrux?

Yes. But another book is good. Just not the 4 part Horcrux Saga.

And even more that don't bother at all. Fans should be well pleased with
the amount of effort that Jo does put into communicating with them not
panning her for failing to tell us how many nappies she changed on Mackenzie
today.

Would you rather she work on her diary,or on HARRY POTTER AND THE END
OF THE SERIES (fictitious working title)?

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
