The Blog

Bloggin’ America is an interactive fiction project that aims to paint a portrait of the American landscape through unconventional group storytelling. Ami Rehnquist, 14, has lived in the small town of Sweet Home, Oregon, all of her life. She, along with the rest of her family members, have never seen any part of the country outside of Oregon. A spontaneous idea takes flight when her family decides to leave all of their everyday possessions and obligations behind for a year as they move into an RV and visit every state. They will spend approximately one week in each state.

Take the journey with Ami as she posts continuous updates of her trip. Follow her activities through her blog, Facebook, or on Twitter. Give her recommendations for places to eat/visit in the states of your hometown. The goal is to get people across the country involved in this interactive journey. Share ideas based on your own experiences. What are the must-see spots in your city that Ami must visit? What are the best-kept secrets you have always wanted to squeal to the world? The story cannot be told without the readers who help create it — readers like YOU!

Learn more about the writers who help tell Ami’s story.
