Vad är JK Rowling "dåligt" på?

0

Vi har alla kommit att veta att J.K. Rowling anser sig vara dålig vid matematik. Hon har till och med medgett det fritt;

ES: How many wizards are there?

JKR: In the world? Oh, Emerson, my maths is so bad.

Har Jo någonsin erkänt att han är "dålig" på något annat? Om så är fallet, finns det några bevis för att detta har lett till inkonsekvenser i hennes verk, som om hon är "dålig i matematik" har lett till debatt om klassstorlekar och befolkning.

För att möjligen begränsa "bredden"; svaren måste komma som citat direkt från JKR själv.

Hon är dålig vid återvändande biblioteksböcker

Question: Did you use the library a lot as a child?

J.K. Rowling responds: Yes, I loved the library, though I was very bad at returning books on time. I once ran up a bill at university of over fifty pounds in overdue fines, which was a lot of money to a struggling student. (It didn't stop me doing it again though!)

Hon kämpar med att tala offentligt

JKR: I've never been good at speaking in public. In fact it's a borderline phobic.

Hon är dålig på geografi

Maths is not my strong suit (though it's better than my geography, as those who have found the most recent Easter Eggs might already know).

Hon är inte bra att läsa offentligt

I do think that the people that have come tonight would rather ask questions than hear me doing a long reading. I would like to think so anyway because I’m not very comfortable doing it and I don’t think I’m particularly good at reading.

Hon anser sig vara mycket oorganiserad

JKR: No. No, I'm embarrassingly bad at most other things, I think. Very disorganized person. I was hell in offices. I was good at teaching English as a foreign language. I loved doing that. I think I was ok at that. I'm good at keeping tropical fish. Can't think of much else, actually, I really can't.

Hon kämpar för att kritisera sitt eget arbete

Rowling: I can only speculate about this really, I'm very bad at being a critic of my own work. I'm far too close to it, I find it very difficult to say why I think things are so popular, and so on. I'm guessing it's because I write about things I find funny, as opposed to what I think eight year olds find funny. And I suppose other adults find it funny too, I'm clearly an adult.

JKR: I think (but I don't really know, because I'm not good at being objective about my own work) that as I wrote primarily for myself, that probably shows in the books. The sense of humour is mine, not what I think children find funny, for instance.

Hon var dålig att vara sekreterare

After school, Jo attended the University of Exeter in Devon where she studied French. Her parents hoped that by studying languages, she would enjoy a great career as a bilingual secretary. But as Jo recalls, 'I am one of the most disorganised people in the world and, as I later proved, the worst secretary ever.' She claims that she never paid much attention in meetings because she was too busy scribbling down ideas. 'This is a problem when you are supposed to be taking the minutes of the meeting,' she says.

Dålig i sport, klumpig och rädd för höjder

Kings Park Primary School: Which position would you like to play if you played quidditch?

JK Rowling: Who wouldn't want to be Seeker? But I think I'd be dreadful at Quidditch, I'm not sporty, I'm not great with heights and I'm clumsy as well. Neville would be about my standard.

I can't say I consider myself a 'world leader' though. Maybe of worlds inside my head? In the real world I can barely lead my dog.

Hon kämpade för att jonglera att vara en mamma och en heltidsförfattare

How did you raise a baby and write a book?" and the answer is, I didn't do housework for four years! I'm not Superwoman, and living in squalor that was the answer.

Hon kan inte skriva kort berättelser

But I didn't really need much persuasion as I have always supported Comic Relief, and I think they do fantastic work, so I wrote back and said yes but I'm not good at short stories particularly not short Harry stories I tend to ramble on, so how would it be if I wrote a couple of the titles that appear by title in the novels so that's how it all started.
