  • Everytime I get depressed about my book ideas or my manuscript not going well, I watch your videos or videos about JKR. It's almost dumb but it gives me the courage not to give up. It took her and it took you such a long time that it makes me feel I shouldn't give up if I really want it ! So thanks for that ^____^

  • Comment removed

  • i cant believe it i never relized u published it on9-9-09 on ourpose

  • i read the first 4 chapter of your book on the branhambric website. it was awesome! you're an amazing writer. i'm buying the book ASAP.

  • omg what's the website u went to to print it out?

  • werent you scared that some one from that web site would take your book and call it there own???

  • wat is the website for the cover

  • yes wat was he website you used to make the bound book? could you pleaseeeeee tell me???

  • It probably was Lulu.

  • @crosscountry2711 Try lulu.com.

  • i can totally use this for an example for my writing!!

  • OMG what was the website you used to make the cover and book?

  • I am 12 years old and i plan to write a novel myself ._.

  • I've been writing a book for two years (don't know the exact date, but I know the age I was) and now I'm 14. I have yet to finish the first book out of the eight in the series I've planned because I'm so stuck on the first 20 pages and I've changed the beginning so many times. Though now that I finally have decided the perfect beginning, I have the first actual 10,000 words (however, now I've decided to write all of my favorite scenes first like Stephenie Meyer does.)

    Totally inspiring video. =)

  • i wrote a book im 14 but i was too scared no one would like it to even consider showing it to anyone at all

  • No point holding back and never knowing! :) Also if you show someone, maybe they could help you with it. I know my friends have helped me a lot with my story :)

  • Very inspiring :D

    It's so cool that you have something to show for all your hard work.

    To write a book would be awesome- you can look back when you are old and know that you achieved your dream :)

    Well done!

  • that's incredible. i'm 13 and i've always planned to write a book. i've started some, got chapters through them, and then had a total block. now i see that planning is...much more important than i thought it was. did you write all of it in notebooks before you typed it?

  • Probably. I am 14 and writing a novel myself, and I wtite most of it at school in my notebooks. lol :) Do you by any chance know the website that he prinited his own books off of?

  • ahaha. I am exactly the same. My maths book is covered in notes where I think up ideas, around my work. Luckily, the teacher never checks it. lol. And also luckily.. I am not failing maths. lol

  • lol, with me it's just this huge binder that I am supposed to be writing notes in. xD I seriously just have pages and pages of chapter outlines for this trilogy I am working on. lol. What's your book about?

  • :O You are simply amazing! Everytime I try to write a story, I fail. xD

  • Where do you print out copies of books? Does it cost money?

  • OMG. I think if we were born the same year then i would be your female twin. I'm fourteen and have and idea that i have to write and would kill to get it published. Thx for making this vid, its nice to know that my dream isnt totally impossible. AND i'm getting your book the day it comes out!

  • Wow! can´t wait to read it when it comes out!!! U rock, u know that?! <3<3

  • Congratulations!

  • Wow

    to right a whole book.....

    i right about the first little part of it then forget about it!

    can't wait to read it!

  • WOW! God. i love writing books and crap.. Mabye i'll try and be like you =]

  • All i can say is, Good on You. Your living your dream.

  • whats the website where you

    can print your own coppy of the book?

  • He probably chose LuLu, it's a self-publishing site where you can publish your own personal books for a very small amount of money. You can create a book for free, as well as the book cover, but the pre-maid covers do NOT look very good, so go with the design your own book cover feature, and the lowest price is $70 for that, it actually is pretty cheap compared to the 1000 dollar book cover deal!! lol.

  • kaleb! is that a fire proof case for your journal things?

    cuz it sure looks like it...

    lol

    ~sveta~

  • THis is so cool. ive known about him since like idk when he first made his website, and now its getting published. I know this sounds corny but he is like my idol. Ive been working on a book of mine for about a year and I cant wait to get it published, even if i can get it published. and at such a young age he got his dreams to come true, which is what I want. I hope it turns out for me like it did for him.

  • At 2:10 you show us that one draft or whatever, and it's like...I have questions.

    1. Did you print on both the front and the backs of the paper? XD lol

    and,

    2. How did you hole punch all of those papers so neatly?

    Seriously, these questions are killing me, answer me. Now. Jking.

  • That's really cool, Kaleb!! It's amazing that you've been working on it this long and so hard and it's finally getting published! Congratulations.

  • awesome Kaleb! I look forward to reading it!

  • covers i mean

  • hey kaleb, where do you design all of those things?

  • do have any advice for plotting stories? because i have a set story (haha- stories..) in my head but i cant focus on what i should plot out first and stuff like that...

  • omg....i seriously can't wait for your book to come out...i love reading the preview chapters and you are just 100% amazing...you are working super hard for what you wanted and you are getting it....i've gotten alot of my friends into this book...so you've got alot of people waiting for your book...so yeah you rock

  • Dude you so smart, you thought of the like the greatist network idea in the planet. Twilight fans love you and will go by any means to support you and thus, buy your book. even myself will buy your book. Plus, its really insipring that you stuck with you idea  makes me want to something with my.

  • HA HA HA HA HA HA

    I'd remove your comment, but then my viewers wouldn't have the pleasure of laughing at your stupidity.

    --Kaleb

  • @kalebnation Hes just jealous :3

  • Let's see, in five years Kaleb's going to be rich and he'll make money from this book for the rest of his life. Now, you on the other hand sound like don't care about your future and if you think he looks retarded, becuase he writes of his own free will, I would like to see where you are in five years. You'll probably be working in a shop or maybe even they wouldn't employ you; without enough money to pay the rent you'll be tossed to the streets. You should lie down and re-think your life.

  • @Ophensis Dude, stop being jealous. I envy Kaleb's life.

  • @Ophensis Dude, stop being jealous. I envy Kaleb's life. And Kaleb, I want to hear about your other stories

  • @Ophensis Dude, stop being jealous.  I'm sure that you've been murdered by know. I envy Kaleb's life. And Kaleb, I want to hear about your other stories

  • @Ophensis u suck nopenis

  • Looks Awsome man , but im not very good in English :( so i cant read it so well. but Congrat man ! Looks Very Interesting !

  • wow.six years, took you a long time. well it seems pretty kool, i would love to read it. and that's kool how you designed the covers your self. i am just about to subscribe to you. like i said on another video i think your cute. no i am not a stocker bt whatever hope your book will be like THE TWILIGHT SAGA, or in there. and p.s. i write poems and i also am writing.
  • I really admire this!! I'm currently writing 4 books, haha, yeah thats a lot but I love writing and when I get a good idea I have to write it (thus the 4 books) they are all pretty big so far and they keep getting bigger. I will totally read your book when it comes out.

    Just wondering, who is publishing your book? Or are you self-publishing? Whats the story, please tell me I need to know.

    BTW love your blog!

  • Sourcebooks is publishing it, I think.

  • Oh my gosh! Kaleb.... I am flipping out... six flipping years. I will promise to read it.

  • I will buy it

    seriously looks really cool!

  • if it comes out in the Netherlands I'll buy it!

    -tearhererockband

  • I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Omgsh !

    Congratzzz !

    I wanna read it ,

    Im sure it's great .

  • COOL!!

    I would check out the preview chapters but I know that if I do then it will torment me until I get the book, I made that sad mistake reading the partial draft of Midnight Sun. I wouldn't of read it because I knew what would happen if I did but I didn't want to wait however long it would take for her to get it off hold, so I gave in.

    Still, I can't wait for your book and I can promise you that I will defiantly be one of your buyers (not the right word but I can't think of anything else)

  • What was the website you got your book, done, I've just recently wrote one and would love to get it done probably (:

  • *Claps* I am SO excited. I am not just saying this cause i love you Kaleb, i am saying this cause the book looks awesome! Like who would have ever though of a boy and a banker waiting for a burglar to come? I can't wait to read it! I have a feeling that maybe hopefully one day, it will come out on DVD or Blue ray.

    I am so excited! Do you know if it will be released at Chapters?

    Please get back to me :)

    Thanks

    Judy xx

  • congratulations kaleb. i am so glad to see that your dream has been realized and that all your hard work has been rewarded. can't wait for the book.

  • *claps and whistles* CONGRATULATIONS KALEB! I'll definitely be buying this book.

  • Oh My Gosh!!

    You've written a book, that's so cool. Wish I could do that. I read ur TwilightGuy website and checked you out on youtube. I saw one of the songs of the books soundtrack and it was video responsed to this. I heard what you where saying and then it just clicked and then this voice came in my head and it was saying, "I have to read that book, I HAVE TO READ THAT BOOK!"

    I don't know why and I don't know anything about it, but hell I gotta have to get a copy of that freakin book

    xoxo

  • You look really tired, have you been gettign enough sleep? Oh and is the book gonna be distributed around the whole country?

  • Goodness gracious, I'm jealous of you. :] I love writing myself, but I don't think that I'm nearly good enough to get published.

    It's funny that you pulled out those notebooks, because I have tons of notebooks with my stories in them, too, and I thought that nearly everyone wrote straight onto the computer.

    I know it's cheesy, but this was a really inspirational video to me. :]

  • Different Magics?

    I'm dumb. And not a writer. What does that mean?

  • I'll buy it! so you won't have to worry that NO ONE will buy it! i will probably love it 2!
