who thought I was bound to be a success at it,which meant
much more to me than I ever told him at the time.”
Despite
many
setbacks,Rowling
persevered
in
her writing,particularly fantasy stories.But it wasn’t until 1990 that she first conceived the idea about Harry Potter.As she recalls,it was on a long train journey from London to Manchester that the idea of Harry Potter simply fell into her head.“To my immense frustration (沮丧),I didn’t have a functioning pen with me,and I was too shy to ask anybody if I could borrow one.I think,now,that this was probably a good thing,because I simply sat and thought,for four (delayed train) hours,and all the details bubbled up in my brain,and this scrawny,blackhaired,bespectacled (戴眼镜的) boy who didn’t know he was a wizard became more and more real to me.”
That same year,her mother passed away after a tenyear battle with
multiple
sclerosis,which
deeply
affected
her writing.She went on to marry and had a daughter,but separated from her husband shortly afterwards.
During this time,Rowling was diagnosed with clinical depression.Unemployed,she completed her first novel in area cafes,where she could get her daughter to fall asleep.After being rejected by 12 publishing houses,the first Harry Potter novel was sold to a small British publishing house.
