Number Two, In Which We Are Privy to an Idea of Sorts

At this very moment, I am blogging from the comfort of an Extended Stay hotel in Bellevue, WA. My family and I are vacationing in the Seattle area and visiting much of the sights and scenes out here in the Pacific Northwest. As an example, we found ourselves in Astoria, Oregon, and I totally geeked out at the prospect of visiting the Goonies house. It turns out, the people who own the home are cool with pedestrian visitors walking up and taking photos and truffle shuffling and whatnot around their home. Pretty cool.

In addition to this, my wife wanted to visit Snoqualmie Falls which, I must say, was dramatically awesome. As we approached the viewpoint, I looked out and noticed the Salish Lodge on the cliff. It seemed rather familiar and I finally realized that it was the hotel from Twin Peaks. Looking around the town of Snoqualmie, I recognized several places that were obvious shooting locations from the show. Needless to say, I had a couple of good fanboy moments.

Anyway, as we were out and about today, I had a thought. I decided that, on the semi-lengthy journey back from Washington to Minnesota, I could very well have enough time to write a story. Thus, I am planning on focusing my time to completing an entire 5,000+ word story to be submitted to some lit-mag at completion. I'll be updating occasionally about this venture on Twitter via #writehome, assuming everything goes to plan. I'll let you know what I'm writing about, as well as the process of submitting it. Let me know what you think of the idea.

Number One, in Which We Learn About Our Protagonist, the Author.

Hello and welcome! My name is Adam and I'm a writer from the great snowy depths of Minnesota. I've been writing for a good deal of my life, as well as reading for nearly as long. I appreciate great fiction with great characters, and I love a great genre-bender. I try to include in my writing these same elements that I enjoy.

This blog is here to share my stories, as well as my journey as I work to complete and publish my first full novel. I hope that you'll enjoy my tales, my ramblings, perhaps some of my poetry and photography as well. Please feel free to leave comments, and don't forget to like my page on Facebook and follow me on Twitter. Thank you for reading!
