when you're so not mad you out page count the equivalent of a capitalism car manual, incoherent drivel from the least annoying ancap, and a series literally known for extremely meticulous and plentiful worldbuilding, for the equivalent of a shower argument against people who dislike you on twitter. holy shit. i'd feel bad if she deserved pity :what-the-hell:

      I think it's actually her because it's this long - outsourced writers would actually edit down, to write & publish a 1300 page murder mystery (presumably) without even having some Ulyssees-style fun with it requires you to believe that you are the greatest writer on earth and be surrounded by deranged yes-men

      The Harry Potter books balooned in size the more she could get leverage over editors due to success. This is just classic JK Rowling writing.

      And now she had the opportunity to get on her hobby horse of castigating the "tolerant left" for being so terrible. So she likely loved writing this shite.

      Joanne is a miserable shart of a human being and apparently this newest screed is very much her writing a malding terf rant about how oppressed she is as a billionaire

      she probably either records voice memos or a types a rough sketches by chapter or something and then a small batallion of editors clean it up,

      i mean i would send literal voice notes, have someone transcribe them for me, then i would read the transcript to see if it's a-ok, and then send that to my publisher and their editors to have it cleaned up, then my publisher or whatever would send feedback and the whole process repeats portion by portion until it's done. that's how i would go around this stuff if i was a rich author. but most stuff should be attributable to rowling regardless.
