photographs for my new book what does your think the best book ever written so they tell me so on Twitter I'd asked people to show pictures of themselves reading my book I said I would give them a digital autograph I said I was gonna do ten but I've already done those so I thought I'd do some more and I just thought I'd have some company so I'm just taking these from the ones the people who have actually sent in photographs such as Michael Blake he's next up so see if you can see this so

[1:08]

next up so see if you can see this so that one's for Michael and after I do a feat of these all that just snap a picture with my Cameron put it in his comments let's see who's next up most casual observer his name is Andy by the way the yeah I don't know why anybody would watch this actually somebody says the scintillating but if you think about it it's sort of ASMR and if you don't know what ASMR is Google it cuz listen to this if you were into ASMR you would know that this is like the most amazing thing

[2:08]

that this is like the most amazing thing listen
yeah people make lots of money just making a soft sounds that put other people to sleep alright so that was ante let's see who else's being good James James by the way the book is doing really well I'd like to go over to Amazon and read the reviews because you know you're right a book takes a year in my case and you always wonder if you've wasted a year imagine working at a year and then your book gets published then people don't like it I mean so far that

[3:10]

people don't like it I mean so far that hasn't happened to me in a very serious way but that would just be the worst so I I always of course check the reviews to see how it's going over and you know I look at the bad reviews but I only look at a few because the bad reviews tend to have a certain characteristic which is people who haven't read the book and people who think they're smarter than the book so those are the two categories of bad reviews people who haven't read it and they're just trolls or they're mad at me for some for something I've done and people who are pretty sure that they are smarter than whatever I wrote and they need to 92 have let the world know in the comments but so after reading a few of those I tell myself okay I think I get the gist of this and then I just after that I just look at the five-star reviews and I think it's 80 some percent five-star reviews so if you just read the

[4:12]

reviews so if you just read the five-star reviews it just makes you feel so good because it's just compliments and so I'm reading through and they're like it's pretty good and then you get addicted yeah because compliments feel really good especially if somebody takes the time you know if that's a pretty sincere compliment somebody takes the time to buy your book read your book and then after reading it and they've already extracted all the value from it still willing to log on and write the equivalent of an essay about what they liked about it like that takes a lot of a lot of commitment so you get a compliment like that you know some somebody put it like you know two days work to end up in a compliment for you like that's a serious compliment it feels really good so don't don't think that it means nothing to me if you if you're one of those people who wrote those all right it looks like Lacey is

[5:14]

those all right it looks like Lacey is next and it's hard for me to talking whatever that's at the same time by the way I can commit to you that this will not be my most exciting periscope
somebody says should I include today's date nay because I'm just going to post it in to you at Twitter and Twitter has is of course dated Tobias Tobias is up I
rarely sign autographs these days well not that rarely but if if I were to do an event we usually just do selfies I don't do autographs for large groups just because I can't my hand would fall off this is one messed-up looking

[6:20]

off this is one messed-up looking dogbert cartoon and I'm drawing her the the point is speed the speed is the important thing here all right ace looking very nice I wonder if that's a real name ace all right watch this I can spell my name without looking so I'm just looking at my Twitter feed from I think it was yesterday when I asked people to show a picture in the comments of them reading my book so I signed a bunch of them already if you're just coming on and I'm just doing some other people who who got in too late and according to the rules it was

[7:21]

late and according to the rules it was too late to get their own digital autograph but because I'm feeling nice today and doing a bunch of extra because I really do appreciate people who you know if somebody reads your entire book that's a that's a pretty good feeling
all right Dennis you're up wonder if there's anybody on here who knows that there isn't a list and they're thinking how many are you gonna do how many you're gonna do so I noticed that well let me check my check my Amazon ranked while you're here because I'm

[8:21]

ranked while you're here because I'm sure you care to to to you loser think I make no promises that this is a good periscope we're just hanging out there would be no reason for you to watch this whatsoever
number 87 we're in the top hundred that means it starts hitting lists because if you're at Amazon for example they they print the top hundred now top hundred is of all books that they sell so being in the top hundred of all the books that Amazon sells it's pretty rare you know you don't a lot of people will never see that but once you once you start getting closer to the you know top ten you get more visibility just because where you

[9:23]

more visibility just because where you already are so then the free publicity essentially kicks in all right Frank is next or no Dennis and then there's John and Scott but Scott doesn't know that there should be two T's in Scott I feel sorry for Scott spelling his name wrong like that does save a lot of time I wish there were only one T in my name you imagined all right moriss moriss you're up somebody says I really need to get a life yeah if you're watching this I don't know why you would by the way this is where I do the

[10:25]

by the way this is where I do the drawing for the Dilbert cartoon so this is a finished Sunday comic that's drawn directly on to the screen with a stylus damn it I tried to write Morris it looks like mom mom's I can do better than that worse
just boy yours thank you all right a few more then I'll have to photograph them and send them you probably don't want to watch that part but she can if you want you're welcome to stay I'll be entering
