Washington, September 27 (ANI): J.K. Rowling, who has found success few authors could dream, has revealed that knowing when to let go and move forward is a lesson she learned from Michael Jackson.
"He wanted to do 'Thriller' again and again and again and instead of accepting that he had produced one of the best albums of all time, and he would always have that, and freeing him to do, I don't know, to do something maybe a little more offbeat or explore, and risk failure, I mean, it's tragic, actually. It's very, very sad that someone with that amount of talent would be chasing that," ABC News quoted her as saying.
The 47-year-old said that all those years she spent being broke and forcing herself to keep rebuilding from the ground up when publishers wouldn't read her manuscripts taught her to face failure and helped liberate her to be even more creative.
"I do feel free to write what I want to write," she said.
"Having been at rock-bottom, it truly does give you a certain insulation from then on, because whatever happens, and clearly I'd rather the book went well than it didn't. I mean I'm human. But, but I do have a sense of perspective," she added. (ANI)
