The Internet can only facilitate a certain number of people at once.
company greater maybe minute offering people shares wait wants worth
People say 'well, so and so wants to give me 1,000 shares but the other company wants to give me 3,000. Well, wait a minute guys, what do you think they will be worth in the end?' And maybe the company offering you 1,000 has greater potential?
coolest people pick seen touring
One of the coolest things about touring around, actually, is getting to meet people, and getting to pick up on things that other people like. So many times, people come up to me after a reading and say, 'You must have read this,' or 'You must have seen this,' or 'Do you listen to this?' Usually I haven't.
added feels few floating gathering knowing people post readers shark tattoos themselves wonderful
There are a few 'Raw Shark Texts' tattoos floating around the Internet now, so I'm gathering them up to post on my forum. It's a strange thought, knowing that readers are tattooing themselves with something I've created, but it feels wonderful to have added something that people care about to the world.

becoming danger familiar maybe slightly
I think there's a danger of becoming too familiar with things, isn't there? That you kind of, when you're used to seeing the same things every day, you see those things come what may, and you don't see maybe the interesting things just slightly out of view behind them.
books finish halfway nearly open pick row
I'm such a magpie. I'll get halfway through one thing and pick up something else. I always have 5 or 6 books open and spine-up by my bed: it's like a row of tents. I don't finish nearly as many books as I should.
Some of the residents just like to keep to themselves,
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a palaeontologist. I wanted to dig up dinosaurs.

Twitter is incredibly useful. It's a great example of how the Internet is changing the way we engage with information and text. Above all else, this change in the nature of engagement is fascinating for me as a writer.
