3-3-09: Six Years After The Idea

March 3rd, 2009 at 12:05 am by --KALEB NATION--

Today is the third day of the third month: and exactly six years ago, I had an idea that changed my life.

The photos above represent bits and pieces of those six years — from the first idea, to plotting the story, to the various titles, to the deal — and my first early steps in writing. Now, in about six months, the book will finally be out. When I first started on this story, I had no way of foreseeing that it would actually work out, and I would finish it. Now, I’m happy that I finally did.

Later this evening, I will be announcing the first bit of major news regarding The Farfield Curse. I plan to have it up here by 7 PM CST, barring any sudden distraction that comes up (I will Twitter the news immediately when it is up, so you’ll know). In the words of my project editor: Happy Branniversary!

    Happy Branniversary! I can not say congratulations enough--I am also a writer and anxiously awaiting the day when I can get the news you did. I am biting my nails waiting for the release of the book.

    I finished the preview chapters yesterday and was furious at the end, because I didn't want to stop reading!
    Keep up the good work with the rest of the series!

    Wow! My day at the office suddenly just got a lot better.

    Happy Birthday Bran!!

    Thanks for the micro-biopic about your journey. It was interesting to see a bit into the world of a soon-to-be published author.

    Like I said before, the preview chapters are great, and I am just one of many who eagerly anticipate getting my hands on the finished product.

    Congrats. A lot of good things are happening for you, and you are definitely worthy.

    Thanks for letting us into your world, one blog at a time.

    amazing, simply amazing, Kaleb! grats and never ending hugs from me! I'm so exited about this *squee*
    I don't know how you feel right now. You got the deal for a while now, but it must be a VERY speical feeling when your first book is actually ready with a release date! We're all supporting you a 340% (keep counting :D)

    I can't wait for the big news tonight(though i'm sleeping at that time) but omg!

    Do you know yet if it will be available on online bookstores around the world, or if it's just on the publishers page? *crosses fingers* I want to make sure whether I will be able to buy it or not. (Better watch ya' credit card mom xDD)

    Cheers!
