Do you ever get a little resentful at your readers, like a mom after thanksgiving dinner? What takes you months of hauling yourself up by your ears and sacrificing outings and so forth takes us only a few hours to read and enjoy?
Readers are a thankless people. (At least if readers are similar to me, who read Jane Eyre in one day when I was 10) And more especially when it's in a series. Generally I'm pleased when I come in late on a series, because, even while I'm saying "GRRR!! i coulnd have been enjoying this fantastic series for HOW long??" I'm also saying "Thank god it's not going to be like Harry Potter- 2 years between books!"
err all the same, I'm sorry we're generally not very appreciative of the time it takes to craft and hone your books.

Nope. :) I think the, "Write faster, write faster!" is pretty funny, actually, because I know how fast I'm writing and how far ahead of where the readers are *I* am. I remember reading about one writer who killed off her heroine's love interest and by the time it hit the shelves she'd written, I don't know, 1.5 or 2 more books in the series, so she was so far removed from the character's death that she was totally taken aback when people started screaming bloody murder. :)

You're forgiven! :)
