I don't think any book that is hundreds of pages long was written on a napkin.

Okay, J. K. Rowling came up with the idea for Harry Potter while on a train ride. She had NO paper or pens or anything like that at all. No napkins either. So she sat and thought about the story the entire ride. If you find the "secret" things hidden on her website, you'll see coffee/tea stained papers that she scrawled random ideas on, this has probably fueled the idea that she wrote the stories on napkins. Here is a quote from an interview with JKR: Question: Do you still have the napkins that you wrote the first book on? J.K. Rowling responds: I'm giggling...where did you read that? I didn't write on napkins; I wrote in notepads. We really need to squash this myth before people ask to see the used tea bags on which I drafted the first book! On the website below you'll find the above quote about 3/4 of the way down the page.

She didn't write a WHOLE book on a napkin. She jotted down initial ideas for the series on a napkin.

True she was a poor homeless women going around to reasaurants and writing on napkins however i don't think it was a whole book. Now she is the 2nd to richest woman in the world(Oprah is the richest) and she is 3 times richer than the Queen of England

I have found an interview with J.K Rowling.
In this interview she is asked about a book on napkins. She laughed and denied it.

Yes, her first book--she was writing on napkins and stuff as the ideas came to her, as she was working as a waitress, etc.

no wonder there's a napkin shortage in our city.
If she did, good for her because she's loaded now. Like or close to Oprah.
