Signing The Book Deal [Video]

And thus I affix my signature to the publishing contract. Since my family is back home and couldn’t be there for perhaps one of the biggest moments of my life, I got it all on film.

This may jolly well be interesting to nobody but me. After all, I’m signing a piece of paper. But to me, signing that paper represents more than a quarter of my lifetime in dreams.

This video is a five-minute short about the idea, writing the book, and signing the deal. I go back to the original black journal from that fateful night when I first had the idea, then to my filing cabinets and boxes of papers and drafts which make up the five years of writing it, and while filming I even inadvertently discovered my first writing notebook ever, from when I was 10 years old. This is a bit of my own tale as well as that of The Farfield Curse.

I realize that in the next video, I need to change my camera angle to point AWAY from the window, so the awful shadows on my face aren’t there and that huge bright light behind me doesn’t blind anyone :p .
