I'm tempted to make a joke about the dress code or the flexible hours, but the fact is that I just love the idea of people experiencing something I've created. Even better if they seek it out for themselves.
I believe that media of any sort will invariably modify a person's understanding and lexicon. It is truly an honor to know that people are willing to let my writing in, to add it to all the other ideas and narratives swimming around their heads. Something might rub off, someone might start using a particular phrase of mine, or change their opinions on some matter or other all because of a few words I put together. At the very least, they might just remember for a time, and that still feels like magic.
If I'm at all a proud man, it's because of my readers. They're the best part of writing. It's nothing without them.
