Passage 1
J. K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter book series, began writing at age 6. In
her biography(传记), she well remembers her good friend, Sean, whom she met in
secondary school, helped build her confidence in becoming a very good writer. "He was
the first person to know my serious dream to be a writer. He was also the only person
who thought I was certain to be a success at it, which meant much more to me. "
Rowling met many difficulties in her writing, especially fantasy(幻想) stories.
It wasn't until l990 that she first got the idea about Harry Potter. As she recalls, it was
on a long train journey from London to Manchester that "the idea of Harry Potter simply
fell into my head. I didn't have a pen with me, and I was too shy to ask anybody if I
could borrow one. I think, now, that this was probably a good thing, because I simply
sat and thought, for four (delayed train) hours, and all the details appear in my brain,
and this thin, black-haired, glasses-wearing boy who didn't know he was a wizard(男巫)became more and more real to me. "
That same year, her mother passed away after a ten-year illness, which deeply
affected her writing. She went on to marry and had a daughter, but separated from her
husband shortly afterwards.
During this time, Rowling suffered from depression(抑郁症). She, out of
work, completed her first novel in the cafes, where she could get her daughter to fall
asleep. After being refused by l2 publishing houses, the first Harry Potter novel was
sold to a small British publishing house. 2 Now with seven books sold nearly 400 million copies in 64 languages, J. K.
Rowling is the highest earning novelist in history. And it all began with the confidence
of a friend!

Are you tired of getting "Storage Almost Full" situation when you try to record
THE moment? Then you will love this app.
The idea came out when I went to Raptors game in Toronto to enjoy the heat of
NBA. Raptors were losing the whole game. But at the last quarter, they were about to
come from behind and win! The crowed got warmed up, and I really wanted to record
the moment! Then the stupid "Storage Almost Full" moment came along. First, I deleted
10 of the least important apps. And then I had to record 5 seconds, and delete the video,
and also delete from deleted picture folder, and repeat…like 1000 times… Well, it
wasn't actually 1000 times but I did a lot, and also lost the moment. All I wanted was a
5 seconds video of the historic moment for my Instagram(照片分享). And the idea for
this app dawned on me.
"What if I could keep video recording but only catch the last 5 seconds? "
THIS 'MOMENT' APP EXACTLY DOES THAT
—It lets you WAIT AS LONG AS YOU WANT WHILE RECONDING as if it has
endless storage.
—It catches last 5 or 10 seconds based on your choice.
—It's super simple that even my grandma can use it.
—Once again, DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR STORAGE, the app will handle
just fine.
All you have to do is just hold your camera while you're waiting for THE moment
like: 4 —when Curry scores a three-points
—when your friend enters the room for a surprise birthday party
—when your dog catches a Frisbee(飞盘)
—when you finally jump off from the top of stairs on your skateboard and land
safe Simple and Sweet
I hope it makes your life stress-free by reducing one small but annoying problem.
