Harry Potter, boy

I am on the final pages of the final book of the Harry Potter series.  It has been an interesting journey with Potter and friends.  I am anxious to get to the final chapters.  But, it has stirred an intense emotion for me with JK Rowling.

JK Rowling was a struggling writer who had a great idea.  Obviously.  But, the success of this idea is mind boggling.  Why can I not have that same eureka moment?  The moment where Ms. Rowling said, "Duh, wizard school + adventure = success."  I don't know if she actually said that...

In my lame attempt to reproduce Ms. Rowling's success, I am writing again.  If I cannot accomplish success at my lame job, then why not strive for success through a creative outlet.  Sooooo, I am once again going to attempt to blog.  Blogging is a great writing exercise, but this time around, I am going to attempt to keep at it.  Regular posts, but I will do so with commentary.

JK Rowling, I envy you as I know millions of others do.  The brilliance of your work and your success has inspired us all.  This time around I think I am just going to do it.
