THE LAST GREAT american NOVEL



I feel like a pretentious bastard to say this, but I am writing THE LAST GREAT american NOVEL. Really now though, I am. I will be leaving on the 22nd of SEPT, and will be going on a one year trip to CALIFORNIA. Me and my two partners in crime, DYLAN ZYLEWSKI, and BRIAN OLSEN- are leaving Milwaukee with an enormous van, my parents pop-up camper, about a thousand bucks, and all the necessary implements of destruction we will need to survive and create art along the way.
It is sure to be the adventure of a lifetime, and along with the intent of moving to California and fleeing from the Milwaukee winter time- is the intent to write a novel based on the experiences we have along the way. We have a few people in a few states that we will visit, but for the most part, the journey is entirely improvisational. We most certainly do not have enough money, and part of the adventure will be having to find random jobs along the way.
A blogspot much like this one, has been created to detail EVERY aspect of the trip as it unfolds. This is including a list of our materials along the way, random thoughts or observations, character profiles of people we meet on the road, future/current plans, updated financial details, excerpts of the in process novel as well as various other photography, writing, sculpture, drawing- basically, the blog will serve as an interactive format for others to monitor our travels, our adventure, and our thoughts at the time. PLEASE CHECK THIS BLOG OUT! I PROMISE WE WILL KEEP IT UPDATED ALMOST DAILY! ALSO, I have already posted the first draft of the PREFACE on this site. It can be seen at: www.THELASTGREATamericanJOURNEY.blogspot.com
