Alan Wake, the Writer

Alan Wake, the Writer is one of the Collectibles found in Alan Wake's American Nightmare. It is one of the pages of the Return manuscript.

Manuscript text[]

My name is Alan Wake, and I'm a writer.

I didn't become one overnight. Like most writers, I struggled with it -- a short story here, an article there. Then I got lucky and spent a year as a staff writer on the Night Springs TV Show.

It wasn't the great American novel of my fantasies, but it taught me discipline and craft, and the difference between wanting to be a writer and actually writing.

Location[]

This page can be found on a pile of wood planks outside the canyon.
