We all need some motivation to sail through difficult times. And when that comes from your idol, then you are not just motivated to follow your dreams but are on cloud nine. Something similar happened when a struggling writer was feeling lost and shred it online, she didn’t hope to get a prompt response from none other than JK Rowling herself!
Yes, a 23-year-old French woman, Roi-Sorcier d’Angmar, an aspiring writer, and Harry Potter buff took to Twitter to share her frustration about writer’s block, she wrote, “I want to write like @jk_rowling or @StephenKing but it’s too hard for me. I’m demotivated. I’ll never finish my book.”

And as they say, anything is possible, her tweet reached Rowling and she in return gave the sweetest reply ever. Replying to her, the creator of Harry Potter wrote, “Don’t write me. Write like you. Nobody else can do that. Finish that book x.”

Surely, she did not see it coming and was ecstatic at Rowling’s kind words. She thanked her and so did scores of others on the micro-blogging site. “Oh god, thanks for your answer ! You are the best person of the World ,” she wrote being overwhelmed.
Oh god, thanks for your answer ! You are the best person of the World 😘

Here’s what other users had to say:
This is the greatest thing about Twitter: You can tag people you really admire and they might just respond.

You’ve got this, girl! Now you have Queen JK Rowling’s blessings with you and we are all waiting to read your book!

If you finish your book, I’ll finish mine. 😊 We can do it together. The beauty of writing is that everyone’s voice is different.. Let Stephen and JK inspire you, but is your voice and no one else’s.
