J.K. Rowling Once Contemplated Suicide. Instead She Wrote Harry Potter.

 
Gazillionaire Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has admitted contemplating suicide while in the throes of a post-separation depression.

"Mid-twenties, my life circumstances were poor and I really plummeted," Rowling told an Edinburgh student newspaper. "The thing that made me go for help was probably my daughter.

"She was something that earthed me, grounded me, and I thought, this isn't right, she cannot grow up with me in this state."

Rowling underwent cognitive behavioural therapy to help get her life squared away. Then she went on to create the Harry Potter series and make more money than God.

The lesson: Don't kill yourself, because you might go on to write a bunch of crap books that become a craze among teenagers and mentally-impaired adults.
