1997 was a big year for J.K. Rowling.

But before that, Rowling struggled to finish that first novel. She couldn't find work as a teacher, and she was living on benefits, trying to take care of her daughter and find time to write the story in her head.

Obviously we all have to worry about keeping a roof over our heads, but it's a nice reminder that sometimes big risks pay off.

As for public speaking, she's addressed that phobia before.

We'd say it cured her. She's also given a TED Talk and was the speaker at the 2008 Harvard Commencement.

Thanks for all the life advice, J.K. Rowling... and get back to writing Fantastic Beasts 2!
