Hey readers of my blog,
I have been thinking for the past couple days of doing this letter to my number one idol, the person who REALLY got me into writing in the first place. I didn't know where to put this letter. I just thought I might write it for myself, but then I remembered I hadn't written on here in a long while. So, I thought I would just put it on my blog here for you all to read if you want.
A little background information first before I give you the letter. Since I was in seventh grade (I am a Senior in High School now) I have wanted to write. What I want to write is book, screenplay, reviews, and much more of course. Writing is my passion, and I will always love doing it. I have love it ever since I have gotten into the Harry Potter series actually. Joanne Rowling has inspired me, ever since I learned about her struggles, and how successful she became. I know that I might not, but that will not stop me from writing.
I have other idols like Stephen King and James Cameron, but Jo is my true and real inspiration for what aI want to be. I have decided to write this letter because the era is over. I just want to say thanks for everything that she has created, so here is my letter to her. I hope that you will enjoy, somewhat.
Dear J. K. Rowling,
I don't want to be like all crazy and say I am your number one fan and all that fun stuff. I am sure that you have gotten that before (countless of time too). I just want to simply say thanks Mrs. Rowling. I want to thank you for doing what you love, writing.
I got into the Harry Potter Phenomenon later in my life and in his. I became a fan after the fifth book came out actually, and I became a crazy fan of Harry Potter of course, how couldn't I? That isn't all Harry gave me, it isn't all you gave me Jo. I believe that getting me into Harry Potter, got me into reading books. I love reading books now (not that I have the time). I read Stephen King and James Patterson all the time now. I think this is only because the Harry Potter books gave me a liking for reading books. I want to thank you for that. I do not know what I would do without reading now. Every time I read a book, I get transported into this whole new world. That is how I felt with your Harry Potter books, and I just wanted more and more of that. I thank you Mrs. Rowling SO much.
Writing is another thing I really want to thank you for. I thought for years about what I want to do when I get older, and you just completely inspired me with your life story. How you struggled for so long, and look at you now. Look how successful you are! It inspired me greatly. I started writing one day, and I LOVED it so much. That was almost five years ago from when I first started writing, and I am still in love with it today. I am planning on going to college for screenwriting now, because I also love movies so I would love to write for them (ever since Avatar really). Along the side though I want to write books. I am actually wound up in this one idea I have right now. I want to thank you Mrs. Rowling for helping me find my gift. I love writing, I do not know what I would do without it, it really is great.a
There are so many things to thank you for Mrs. Rowling. I could probably write a whole book on all the things you have helped me over come throughout the years, and still years to come probably. (Maybe one day I will write that book). You really are my inspiration, I would one day love to meet you. I would love to believe it could be true, but I am almost 100% sure that it will never happen. You probably will never end up reading this letter even. I just wanted to say thanks for everything Mrs. Rowling. Thank you for helping me want to read, and want to write just like you. If you hadn't written down that one idea you had gotten on a train all those years ago, who knows what I could be doing now. Thanks for doing what you do best, and that is of course what we both love, writing.
Thanks again,
Noah Mark Bitney
