Suppose that he is a great author and also doesn't want to make any money off of this.

This sort of project has got to be hard to justify when people like him have competing interests and projects available. What if his third book takes an extra 2 years because he can't justify the time to work on it?

How many well-meaning, potentially great authors have we lost to other careers because of these economics?
