I'm sure if she says she's writing and will be recording by a certain time, it is her plan or her wish to indeed be recording by that time. When there are unanticipated delays - involving her family, her home or the songs, themselves - they are just that - delays. Those are not lies.

We can't have it both ways - there are posts saying she needs to keep us informed, she needs to tell us what's going on, etc., and if she doesn't, she's ignoring us or doesn't care about us. Then when she DOES tell us what she's up to, we over scrutinize. Perhaps now it's a bit easier to understand why it might be easier for her just to remain silent.
