Hey Paolo,

I’m 100% for you not posting and working on your book. Somehow when I saw all the similarities in the universe of Yellowcard Man with a few of the others I figured you might be working up to something longer. It’s a great world for it too.

I saw this news article, and it seemed like something that could fit in one of your stories:

Paolo, if you finish your book and write more stories, but never blog again, we’ll still come out ahead.

Rock Paonia!

Paolo- I saw your pretty face on the cover of Locus. Guess that makes you pretty fly for a white guy. Talked to the guys at Locus about it when I was in California. They all say you are very depressing. Love to you and yours. Maybe see you in January, I’ll be in the States.

Shara – where did you preorder this? I don’t see it on either Night Shade’s website nor on Amazon, and I am so excited for this collection!

Paolo – just blog between books. Nothing wrong with having publicity/promotion periods in between writing periods.

Hi! :)

I can’t blame you. A writer friend of mine once said she felt like she had only so many words in her a day, and if she spent them blogging instead of her novel, they were wasted. So I completely understand. I feel that way off-and-on myself.

And randomly speaking, I just got to PRE-ORDER a short story collection of yours coming from Night Shade Books! Did I miss this announcement? Whatever the case, I am beyond thrilled. Too bad I have to wait until February! :)

Good luck with your novel. Know that you have many fans (myself included) who can’t wait to read it. Cheers!

It’s a pity that you don’t blog more often, but it’s the best excuse as reader could want :) I can only say that I’m eagerly waiting for the masterpiece.

(And BTW, even though Scalzi seems to be a cool dude and has a couple of good novels, your stories and future scenarios so far are way more complex, and I’m sure eat up a lot more energy to create.)
