J.K. Rowling Tells Twitter She Procrastinates With Minecraft

Let's all take a moment to imagine the Great J.K. putting Harry Potter aside to play a few levels of Minecraft.

J.K. Rowling kicked off Monday morning (or evening, if you're coming from Britain) with a reply spree to her Twitter followers as she procrastinated on a "tricky chapter." She engaged one follower with some insight into her favorite ways to put off work:

.@Dere_He_Is Along with books bought for research that are too interesting to put down, 24 hour news and, of course, Minecraft.

-- J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) January 19, 2015

"And, of course, Minecraft." Of course, though. She followed up with this clarifying statement:

.@q_uibbler I have an 11 year old son - of course I play Minecraft.

And just in case you were wondering, she plays with the monsters on:

.@anniibl On, naturally. I'm hardcore.

-- J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) January 19, 2015

Therefore, J.K. Rowling is god.

J.K. also took the time to give her followers some tips on writing, and some insight into her process.

She helped one misguided young writer find the way with this advice for how to punch writer's block in it's ugly face:

.@mac_toot Sometimes you have to stop trying to force it, walk away and let your subconscious show you the way. Fill up on life for a while.

And she also channeled her male alter-ego, Robert Galbraith (@RGalbraith), the author of "The Cuckoo's Calling," whom she is collaborating on with her next book.

Because Robert is "frightened of social media," J.K. was kind enough to speak for him, and hand out some handy clues for his next literary endeavor:

.@Simply_Elin Robert is frightened of social media. However, he'd like me to pass on that there is a character called Elin in his next book.

In more recent news from Robert Galbraith, J.K. revealed via Twitter that his crime novel, "The Cuckoo's Calling," will be turned into a BBC thriller series.

According to The Daily Mail, "The Director of BBC Television, Danny Cohen, confirmed the news in an official statement.
'It's a wonderful coup for BBC Television to be bringing J.K. Rowling's latest books to the screen. With the rich character of Cormoran Strike at their heart, these dramas will be event television across the world.'
The second book in the Cormoran Strike series, 2014's The Silkworm, will also be a part of the BBC programme."

Who wants to bet, as we speak, J.K. Rowling is playing Minecraft while procrastinating this next book?
