Perhaps the most problematic thing about launching a new book out into the world is that people will inevitably tell you what they think of it.
For instance. I recently discovered this review of my last book (Where the Rocks Say Your Name…2006) on Goodreads.
I have to read this for a project. OMF if anyone reads this they wil never want to read again its soooooooo boring if you read it tell me how long it took u to because everytime i open it i fall asleep. p.s gr 10 english sucks especially with teachers that don’t like u.
THIS BOOK SUCKS ITS BORING OMFING GAWD OMGWTFBBQ
I think I get the gist of what he’s trying to say, but am way too boring to know what “BBQ” stands for. If you know, I’d appreciate it if you could fill me in.
So it turns out OMGWTFBBQ is a real thing…

Well, there you go. Did you know what it meant, or did you have to look it up? I just want a sense of how out of it I really am.
