一手打造《Harry Potter 哈利波特》系列魔法世界的 J.K. Rowling ,以縝密又有邏輯的創作能力聞名,但總是看起來游刃有餘的她,事實上也曾經在寫作的過程中遇到難以突破的瓶頸,讓她感到相當痛苦。
「這個章節讓我寫到彷彿世界末日。」

早前,一位正投入寫作的的粉絲,因為創作過程難以推進,忍不住在Twitter上詢問 J.K. Rowling 是怎麼熬過這些關卡? J.K. Rowling 坦承自己沒有大家想像的那麼厲害,一直給人感覺相當從容不迫的她,其實在進行《Goblet of Fire 火盃的考驗》第九章時煎熬得像是世界末日。

《Goblet of Fire 火盃的考驗》第九章故事講述一場重要戰鬥場景的發生,Harry甫抵達 Quidditch World Cup 魁地奇世界盃,就遭到食死人闖入,攻擊在場所有民眾,包括麻瓜。這場戰役隱含了過去謎團的重要線索,更藏了未來事件的重大暗示,無疑需要耗費更多心力,也讓 J.K. Rowling 直言:「重寫的次數比我現在記得的還要多」。

「我已經不停寫作了一個禮拜...我覺得我已經重寫同一個章節大概40次了吧!因為我就是寫不好,你是怎麼度過這些寫作瓶頸的?」
I have been writing like that for a week....I think I have re-written a single chapter 40 times because I can't get it right...how do you get passed that? https://t.co/S4W58X0dSX

「《Goblet of Fire 火盃的考驗》第九章讓我覺得人生快終結了。我重寫的次數比我現在記得的還要多。你會度過的。」
Chapter 9, Goblet of Fire nearly finished me. I rewrote it more times than I can now remember. You'll get there. https://t.co/5Y5I4hRSDi

J.K. Rowling:
「我當然不是毫無缺點,只是我做到了。永遠不要期待達到『完美』,否則你將永遠只能等待。盡你所能做到最好,成為比別人更勇於做夢的人。真的很謝謝你,親親。」
Certainly not flawlessly, but I did it. Never wait in expectation of perfection or you'll wait forever. Do the best you can with what you've got and be one of those who dared rather than those who merely dream. And thank you x https://t.co/Y1beuWwO4N
