Rowling: Poverty sucks

JK Rowling's publishing a short-story collection to raise money for single-parent families.

"Some articles written about me have come close to romanticising the time I spent on Income Support," she told the Daily Mirror.

"The well-worn cliche of the writer starving in the garret is so much more picturesque than the bitter reality of living in poverty with a child."
