Seasons Greetings!
It is finished!
The final section of the manuscript for Eldest is finally off to my editor, Michelle. What
a relief! I feel like I’ve been juggling a dozen brightly-colored balls, each an idea
or plot point that must be caught and set in just the right place. I feel elated,
exhausted, and a bit anxious . . . all at the same time. I have been working on this
project since I penned the first words three years ago. Long have I held this story in my
heart; soon I will entrust it to you.
While the first draft is completed, my work is not yet done. During the next few months,
Michelle and I will work to clarify the descriptions and dialogue, eliminate pesky
unneeded words (like pesky), and make sure the plot, characters, and story elements are
consistent. Like a newly forged sword, Eldest must be polished and its edge honed before I
present it to you.
This year I traveled to England, Ireland, and Scotland. I was a guest on the Late Show
with David Letterman, and I’ve visited with many of you while on book tour in the
United States, at Comic-Con, and at the Maui Writers Conference. I have a feeling that
exciting news will be released regarding the Eragon movie and video game.
My dad has collected links to Eragon fan sites from around the world. We thought you might
find them interesting, so I’m including a few below. Every so often he brings one up
on his computer screen and says, “Christopher, look at this!” I am always
amazed. Thanks to all my readers, fans, and publishers who have worked on these sites!
