Yes.

If it's true that JKR's consulting has slowed her writing, I hope it 
is draining only her time, not her creative novelistic powers.  And I 
fervently hope that she has learned by now that she can't do it all, 
and that she should retire to her favorite cafe (can she still write 
in cafes, or has fame made that impossible?) and write and devote at 
most 2 hours a week to answering WB's questions.

Me too, but I still hope I can have both.
