Thanks for doing this AMA and spending your time with us.

Do you have any advice for someone interested in writing for games?

Hey, quick favor. Can you follow me around for the next couple of years and speak for me? I'd stop talking with my own vocal cords, and instead write things down on index cards, hand the card to you, and you'd read it aloud for me? My friends would really get a kick out of it, and they have birthdays coming up in the following years.

It should only take 9, 10 years tops.

Thanks for doing this AMA. My question is about the financial side of Humble Bundle as it affects the authors. Do the authors get a significant amount of money from offering their books? I know Mr. Doctorow is a special case since all his books are already online for free, but can joining a Humble Bundle hurt future book sales for authors or is it just free money they otherwise wouldn't have gotten?

P.S. I bought my beat-the-average collection and I'm looking forward to reading them all!
