I know nothing about Goodreads (sorry), but I just wanted to say congratulations, Ryan, on stepping out in the world!
I hope it goes really well!

Re: Learn a Language to Procrastinate
I'd really like to learn Spanish. It's important for my profession, since I live in California. I'm going to go the Rosetta Stone route eventually, but it's expensive, so I'm saving up. But I'll check out your site in the meantime - appreciate you sharing it. And you're right, free is good!

Re: Please flag posts with suspicious signatures
Well, I know this is a weird thing to say, and I'm not diminishing the irritation of having to delete it, but I rather enjoy the spam. I get a kick out of how clever they are. Sorry. ;) On the other hand, I really like flagging things, too, so I'll do my flagging part! Maybe this is because I sort o...

Re: Writing Tips
Mira- You nailed it. BTW...I just published a new book, it's a kids book, but the main theme is finding the right time and right place for something. In the context of my story (Rudy Toot-Toot, it's on Amazon), it's a fart. Well, not just a fart, but a massive earthquake inducing blast, which, as y...

Re: Are Publishers Going Too Far?
Okay, my vote. I don't feel all that strongly because I think I've surrended to this. Publishers and Producers and Directors are going to do it, despite my opinion. And I don't have any problem with erotica. And I understand the idea of creative expansion on an idea, so I can see why people might di...

Re: At the can't-look-at-my-book phase
Boy, I know that feeling.
I echo what everyone is saying. Take a break. A long one.
Not only will you be re-energized, but like others here said, you'll see it with fresh eyes.

Re: Writing Tips
Rick, I like your tips, especially tip #4. I never tire of those jokes. They are funny!
My tip: There is a time and a place for adverbs. Don't be afraid to use one when it feels right.

Yeah, it's sad there isn't a better way to play games for old platforms. Some of them were gems!

Re: Ebook
I agree with Mark and Sommer. It's illegal. No question.
It's also unethical, in that you are making money off someone's work. I imagine you are having some uneasy feelings about doing this, which is why you posted this here. I'd listen to that unease.
I'm glad you checked!

Re: Pearson buys vanity press Author Solutions
Yes, the web is abuzz. I feel suspect of their motives, myself. Maybe I'm being unfair, but something about this hits me wrong.
