Now that I've rambled, I'll step down. I understand completely and had never thought blogging that it was crap could have such dire consequences for the readers. Thanks for enlightening me.
I think readers who read a lot of different writers are probably much more aware, but I could be wrong; certainly if they read a lot about a book in progress, and love the book, they will probably think "Oh, I get it. The author is insane", and proceed from there.
But the common misconception, that writers just sit down and write golden words, is a common one for a reason, and it's easy to forget that when we're chest-deep in unfortunate words.
