I couldn’t care less about her preferences for Eurovision, if it was fun to learn her husband Neil is accomplished on both the violin and keyboard (The Presence plays guitar). The keepers of these twenty-seven tweets? The two about the six works in progress and her revelation that the Loser’s Lair in Christmas Pig was inspired by a glimpse down a smoking fjord in Iceland:
I've currently got 6 books in wildly different stages of development on this laptop. Some of them might never make it, poor things, but I'm confident 3 of them will eventually see the light. https://t.co/NEvMvujWKe

I concentrate on one book at a time when it comes to actually writing, though I tend to plot the next one in my spare time. I really enjoy the planning stage and the more so as I get older. But sometimes an idea takes you over and you have to get it down before it vanishes. https://t.co/SoKu8xEbRM

🇮🇸I stole a geographical feature I saw in Iceland for the climax of The Christmas Pig. Three women, guitars, what's not to love? #Eurovision

I was also relieved that there were no attacks from the Twitter Transgender Thought Police in the comments (no, I didn’t look very hard for them).
Your thoughts? Is Eurovision this big a deal that it merited more than twenty tweets as rolling-Rowling commentary? Anyone dare to guess what the six books in progress are? Fire away!
Strike 7 and 5 Fantastic Beasts novels? (Fingers crossed)
“I’m confident 3 of them will eventually see the light.” Fantastic Beast novels 4 and 5 and the backstory of the Ukrainian Iron-belly?
“Neil is accomplished on both the violin and keyboard (The Presence plays guitar).” What, no highland war pipes? (I’ve belatedly learnt it doesn’t not really take 21 years to get reasonably proficient – so, it seems there’s hope for me and others…: if we make the start!)
I am guessing Strike – 7 and Fantastic Beasts 4/5. Other than that – I have no idea.
