Sometimes it's really fun to imagine being JK Rowling. Imagine: you've gotten kids to read who were never interested in books before. You've drawn attention to the plight of children in orphanages and to people with MS. People have learned all kinds of useful skills working on everything from websites to fanfics that were inspired by your books. People have formed strong friendships talking about your work. And as in this last case, people have been able to make a living doing something they love because of your ideas and inspiration.

Actually, it's probably a very good thing I'm not JKR - she's much better at it than I'd ever be. If I stopped to think about all that stuff, I'd be *insufferable*.
