If I were the author, I'd avoid the live blog transcript. I don't think she could *learn* anything from reading it. It would be rather like stepping into a wasp nest.
I don't think many writers' books, novellas et al could withstand the word by word, paragraph by paragraph, scrutiny that this author's work was subjected to. While a book is the sum of its parts, in the end it is the whole of the writers' vision that either works or doesn't. It just seems to me there was an element of unfairness to the live blogging effort. It made me squirm.
