The Writer's Journey is a series of collectible videos found in Alan Wake's story in Alan Wake 2. Like the Writer in the Cabin videos from Alan Wake, they depict Alan's struggle to grow as a writer while trapped in the Dark Place.
There are nine Writer's Journey videos in total, one of which is exclusive to the New Game Plus mode The Final Draft. Each video can be found playing on a TV somewhere in the Dark Place and later replayed in the Writer's Room.

Trivia[]
- Watching all eight videos (with Spiral excluded), is required to unlock the achievement/trophy The Trail of the Writer.
- The game keeps track of the number of videos discovered outside of the individual saves, meaning that it is not required to have all videos discovered at the same save file to get the achievement.
- The title "The Writer's Journey" is a reference to the book "The Hero's Journey" by Joseph Campbell, as the process that Alan goes through is also based on the template Campbell depicts in the book, especially with the use of "Departure", "Initiation" and "Return" as vital stages in the journey.
