Don't put words in J.K. Rowling's mouth or she will Tweet you into oblivion
LONDON — Seriously people, it's time you learned: J.K. Rowling does not tolerate any tomfoolery on social media.
This time, the unsuspecting transgressor had the audacity to mention @jk_rowling in a tweet linked to a video claiming to know "Rowling's 10 Rules for Success".
However, Rowling does not endorse any specific recipe to ensure success, and she does not take kindly to people putting words in her mouth.

Rowling's response:

And when a fan insisted that some tips for success would be useful, she "revealed" her process:
Work, work, fail, get up again, work, fail, get up again, work, work, repeat. https://t.co/TsQFGCbDAO

Rowling's now iconic rags-to-riches story includes lots of rejection — 12 different publishers turned down Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Looks like good 'ol fashioned hard work and perseverance are the name to this novelist's game.
