Magic beyond words

Have you ever watched "Magic Beyond Words"? It's a movie that tells the detailed history of J.K. Rowling's early life. It's - in my opinion - the best movie that people who wish to be published authors someday could watch. But now the following questions are aimed to who have already seen it.

* In any part of the movie, did you have the feeling that J.K.'s history was similar to yours at some point?

* Have you noticed Writers & Artists' Yearbook apparition during the movie?

If you know nothing about it, read this synopsis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Beyond_Words

Hi T.O. and Christina,

Glad to see you spotted our cameo appearance! It was our first, and hopefully not last, brush with the silver screen!

Yes I did watch it. I can only presume that there will be similarities in most people's journey to getting published. As to the apparitiong of Writer's and Artist's yearbook during the movie I think that not every little detail is ever put into a movie. I've got to admit it was pretty late on in my redrafting of my manuscript before I began to look at the yearbook.
