Am I wasting my time posting GCA on my LJ?

EDIT: Thanks all for the responses, I'm not wasting my time, so I will continue!

I've seen virtually no replies (except from people already on my Beta list!) on my snippets, so I don't know if anyone is reading those posts. Some people on my friends list I know would not care to, or need to, read the snippets, so I suppose it's possible that anyone who IS interested in reading my stuff (at least prior to it actually being available in paper form) has already joined my Beta list and thus posting it here on my LJ is wasted effort.

I'm so sorry. My reaction was "But I just want the book" I'd already put it on my list to get as soon as it came out and I'm looking forward to that immensely. I hadn't realized it would seem like a snub.

I also prefer whole books, personally. Also, November is a month when many, many people are swamped with NaNo and spending less time following other people's stuff than they would otherwise.

It's not a "snub" as such, just a matter of whether I'd already essentially shown this to anyone inclined to read it piecemeal. There's plenty of people who DON'T do that and just want to read it when the book comes out in full, a perfectly understandable idea.

I'm in that boat, too -- I already read one early excerpt and got anxious for the whole thing, so I'm going to wait. But it's easy enough to skip those posts.
