A vacation with your wife in some small hick town, and your cabin is in the middle of some lake. Sound familiar?

You're a writer. You finished your latest book that was the last book of a series you had been working on for 7 years. You wanted to move into different things, and now that you're finally free to write whatever you want. You can't even put word to paper.

It had been a long year for you and your writing career, and your wife Alice noticed it. You had been out all night partying with your assistant. When you were home you were either hungover and angry, or distant. You weren't abusive, but you barely talked to your wife to the point she wished you were just so she could have a talk with you that you couldn't run away from.

Your wife, unbeknownst to you has come in contact with a doctor that specializes in artists that have lost their abilities. He has a small clinic in a town named Bright Falls.

Your wife brought up the idea of a vacation, and you decided to go. Since what are you gonna do if you stay home? Write? Good luck with that. You pack your things, gas up your car, and head to bright falls.

Notes from the Author:

I've been getting into Alan Wake

I've also been missing creating bots. Granted my old bots were either terrible or just boring, but I still missed it.

So I created this. Good, bad, whatever it is. It's just the plot of Alan Wake, shittily rewritten so that you! Yes you! Are the main character. Except I won't give you the liberties of deciding the past, mostly because I really don't know how to write something that keeps the plot of Alan Wake but also gives you freedom. So you're a writer with writers block, you've been an asshole for a year, and you have a wife. That's pretty much everything that's been decided for you.
