In 2009, I Will
December 31st, 2008 at 2:28 am by --KALEB NATION--
Today is the last day of 2008. So much has happened in the past year. We sold the book. I started my blog. I went to the Twilight premiere. I got to meet Stephenie Meyer. I made lots of new friends.
And yet, with everything that happened this year, I can’t help but feel that 2009 will be even bigger. There will be so many new things: so many changes to my life in the next year. I don’t even know what to expect, after all that has happened, and all that has changed, in 2008.
So as a final goodbye to this year, and looking forward into the next, I decided to make this video. It’s not my usual style. This video is based on something I wrote in my notebook, as a note to myself in the future, to look back on as these things happen, and to remember how things were before 2009 came along, and whatever wonderful things the year has in store.
I originally planned to keep this a privated video for people I knew. But since everyone who reads my site has seen so much of my life so far, I decided to post the video, so you can see some hopes, and perhaps resolutions, I have for what could be the biggest year of my life so far:

Thanks to all my readers and subscribers who are following me. In 2009, I will reach for my dreams. What will you do?

Happy New Year, Kaleb! Hope 2009 is an awesome year!
Hmm, let’s see…in this new year, I have already sent out my first batch of query letters. My big resolution for this year is to not freak out when I get rejections!
Happy 2009!

Happy New Year :]. I really hope your 2009 is everything you’re hoping for. I’m so excited for you, and the release of Bran Hambric. I’ve read the preview and it’s an amazing idea. I can’t wait to keep reading, and it’s great that your dreams are coming true.
I’m only in high school right now, but your story inspires me to keep writing, and seems like proof that it IS possible to make it in this career.
Good luck, Kaleb.
In 2009, I will buy and read your first book. I will follow the path to making my own dreams come true.

You are such an inspiration for young writers (and old writers like myself). Twilight Guy is brilliant and I can’t wait to read your novel. You are accomplishing things I’ve only dreamed of. All the best.
