Selling

I think people become consumed with selling a book when they need to be consumed with writing it.

I like reading listings on Craigslist.  What people sell, what they want for what they sell, and how they describe what they sell — these things are all very interesting.  The best listing I have seen recently was for a desk.  The desk was free.  Here is how the poster described the desk, "Like the child of a Sherman tank and an ankylosaurus."

Awesome.  Particularly awesome that s/he chose "ankylosaurus" instead of some more common saurus.

Well done!
