I'm just of the belief that if you're gonna offer your works online, as a see-my-work-as-I-write-it work, then there's a reasonable expectation you'll post material quite regularly. Now I'm sure any ordinary NaNoWriMo person has posted as much as s/he has completed for the event, but a Nobel Prize winning author? C'mon. Either deliver or don't attempt. Someone who's not made it "to the bookstore shelves", isn't - in my opinion - laboring under quite the same expectation.

But maybe we'll be totally surprised and her "work-in-progress" will be so worth the wait we'll all abandon any desire to read another book.

P.S. I've not read your work so I wasn't attempting a slam against you.
