Don’t Be Like J.K. Rowling

Don't say, (as I often do) "I'll never be like her/him." It does not get you anywhere.

Heck, write about a dog that gets stuck in a tree trunk and cannot get out until some magical fairy does her magic thingy on him.

I do not know. Write about it, if it seems like it could turn out alright.

Never doubt yourself or your writing.

Your writing will only go uphill from here.
