a] today, when I opened the mailbox, I got more than 1.000 applications. I could send close to 20 confirmations, but it will take another full day to select everybody
 
b] Paula is striving hard to get the extra table, so we can invite more people.
 
c] Don’t be discouraged if you don’t get the confirmation tomorrow. I am asking to readers who already got my email to write back, there are friends of mine who may not confirm their presence because they are away, etc. Be patient. I will post another update here, when the boat is full of confirmed guests.
 
d] Italians, you are very fast!!!

    I want to thank you God
    for dreams
    that may come true,
    for feeling sad,
    for thunderstorm
    and blue.

    Thank You, Paulo

    love
    Agnieszka

    Paulo,

    For some reason all of the writing from my chosen ‘website’ (which I included in my E-mail yesterday), has been deleted due to a technical glitch. I pray that I can understand this omen. The inspiration in this community is incredible and many passionate authors will be very disappointed, as I am. I am in a dilemma; does it mean it is not my destiny, or is it a test? If I do make the selection at all, your advice would be truly appreciated.

    Many regards,

    Matthew

    Sorry, if I don’t make the selection, your advice would still be truly appreciated.

    Regards,

    Matthew

    Olá Paulo! Falo do Brasil, do Rio de Janeiro que compartilhamos. Li uma matéria sobre esse blog no El Pais (é, além da curiosidade natural de internauta, sou tradutora de espanhol e estou sempre por lá, checando as novidades rsrs) e vim aqui conferir. Amei a espontaneidade e vou virar freguesa. Só para saber: esse blog não tem versão em português, tem? Sei da sua coluna no G1 e volta e meia dou uma checada, mas procurei blog em português e o do seu site remete para cá. Em tempo: gosto do que você escreve. Um grande abraço. Da Ana

    Querido Paulo:

    Es increible la emocion que provoca la espera de la respuesta a mi deseo de participar a la fiesta de San Jose, estoy feliz esperandola!.
    Espero ser una de las elegidas para participar, seria un momento indimenticable en mi vida.
    De una cosa estoy segura, si no sere elegida, seguire fiel a mis sentimientos, ya que al corazon se manda.
    Gracias por permitirme sonar. Te abrazo. Ruth

    Hello Paulo,
    Your idea of hosting a party for your readers is not only noble but it shows your generous character and your love for “joie de vivre.”

    Everytime I read your novels or your collection of short narratives, I feel a certain affinity to your characters. I get immersed in their respective stories.. This is the gift you offer to your readers through your works.

    I hope your fountain of wisdom will keep on flowing continiously like the river of your life. Discovering your books is a great adventure for me and I hope to travel with you in your future journeys and for as long as I can read.

    Your student of life,
    Teresita
