Almost I rushed from home to tell you this
Love's not a savior when you're messed up.

and what a year it will be... woo hoo, Paul! I'm so ecstatic for you.
a gazillion congrats to you! what a secret to keep!
I do the happy dance for you!
Im proud to know you;) Get out the T-shirt that says you are THE MAN!
Thanks!
Don't forget us little people when you get your invite from Oprah.
You sir... are the rockingest rocker. However, I will not fully acknowledge that you've reached the pinnacle of greatness until the Mulkey Brothers are mentioned in a poem.. or, Rocky King... I could live with that.
What would you say if the barbed wire match featuring Rugged Richie Dye and Kenny "Hot Body" Arden is featured in the memoir?
OMG, Congratulations! See, I knew someone would pick up a memoir if you wrote it. Yu are so going to end up on Oprah...
I think the first time I ever read your blog, you had posted a section of the memoir. I thought it rocked.
Congrats, Paul. I'm looking forward...
Congratulations, Paul! What wonderful news, and well deserved. I am looking forward to the books. Cheers!
Congrats, Paul! This is so amazing! I'm so happy for you!
Congrats Paul! I'm so glad someone recognizes your talent!
Hooray and many, many congratulations! This is so exciting, and very, very well-deserved!
Huzzah! Well done, Paul!
Wonderful, wonderful news! Congratulations!! xo
Congratulations! After the Oprah appearance, I think the screenplay adaption is next, right? :)
Ummm, who's gonna play you in the movie?
A certain Spider-Man actor's manager did request the manuscript. I kid you not.
Huzzah, huzzah! I will teach your book in my autobiography class the next time I teach it!
Oh, Paul. That's so great!! And is it too early for me to say, "I told you so"?
--Stacey
Wowza--that's some cat to have kept in the bag for so long! Still, I think you enjoy these fabulous secrets of yours--I can see the devilish grin on your face now.
Congrats!
That cat left claw marks...;)
great news on a cold as hell day, esp. the spiderman part. spin that web.
OMG, Paul, you're THA SHIT! And I'll second Cynthia's "Spin that web!" (an expression we should permanently replace "Congratulations" with, don't you think?)
Wow, congratulations! Awesome news.
Wow. Awesome news. Congrats!
Spin that web, indeed! WOWZA! Insane and wonderful and YIP!
So, um, I guess this means you'll get to read in the evening at your next Meacham?
;)
xoLaurel
Congratulations, Paul, on everything!
-rebecca cook
Holy sh*t, that is great news! You are on your way, Paul. Congratulations!
Paul, this is really incredible--and quite a streak you've had lately! Luck has nothing to do with it though. We've seen the excerpts. ;) Congratulations.
Wow! Great news! Can't wait to read it--
Congrats!
best,
Kelli
Holy smokes! That's so cool.
Holy hell! I am so, so happy for you. Wow.
And thanks--you're giving all the poets a little encouragement that we, too, may someday be optioned by Hollywood. = )
Congrats, Paul! Can't wait to read this.
Warmest congratulations, Paul. :-)
Just saw this!
Congratulations!
Congratulations, Paul,
Though I knew for some time, I'm happy that it's all official, now.
I keep meaning to email you and soon will. For now, enjoy your much-deserved wonderful news. You know I have never doubted you.
Sophia
The fact that this is so well-deserved doesn't make it one bit less awesome. Mighty, mighty congratulations to you. I just wish we didn't have to wait until 2009 to see it!
good job! looking forward to reading it.
Freakin' awesome, dude. Congratulations!
Great news! Congrats, sir. :D
The 'What's in it for me?' makes so much more sense now.
>:o)
Many, many congrats. I'm one of a few friends who kind of lurk on your blog--we're big fans of your work, but we don't really post much here. This, however, is a great reason to. Exciting stuff.
