The Post Where I Announce That My Second Book Has Been Picked Up By A Publisher
April 13th, 2005
Yes, it’s true.
Details will be forthcoming when I’m sure it’s safe to release such sensitive information, but please let me appease your fears by telling you that the book does not involve or include any of the following subjects: ducks, sentient rocks, stories about people who eat cabbage, funny lists that all have to do with licorice, my personal ramblings on cheese, a picture of my head and how big it is, how-to’s on doing magic tricks, songs about singing songs, a story that feels longer than Cold Mountain and which involves my trek from San Francisco to Boston while wearing only one shoe and half a pair of pants, the band Motley Crue, letters to corporations, letters from corporations, rants about celebrities, really big sentient rocks, my thoughts on robots taking over the world, or a whole sci-fi novel based on a story I overheard at the bus stop about how cockroaches from alien planets are in actuality, living in a huge base made out of swiss cheese.
I know. Huge relief.
Congrats.

Mazal tov Pauly! But…I was anxious to learn more about your big head.

Would you believe, Hilary, that my proposal for a book based on my head being so huge, and pictures of my head being huge through the ages was turned down EVERYWHERE?
People don’t know talent (or a big head) when they see it.

Shocking Pauly, truly shocking.

Congrats Pauly! Can’t wait to get my hands on the new book!

Congrats dude! I’m taking bets now that the title will be, “450 Pages Of Sentences For My Enjoyment.”

Way to go Pauly! When does it drop?

God, your guess is as good as mine. These things take years usually.
If I was being conservative, I’d say “next Fall.”
You’ll just have to quench your thirst here at WFME until then. In the meantime, I’ll try to get the “My Head is Huge” novella up as soon as possible.

There is no positive excalamtion quite apropos for this extraordinary situation. Alright, I’ll try one…
Huzzah!
Nope, that wasn’t quite enthusiastic enough for this announcement. This news trancends words (which is ironic for a blog of this title).
