Adam Oster, Adventure Novelist

While I’ve never really sought out horror flicks, I’ve watched tons of them over my lifetime. As a kid who literally ran out of the room when Mad Marge’s eyes turned into cartoon eyes during Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, I never would have expected to be someone who would enjoy the scarier things in cinema,…

I’ve long thought that at some point in my life, I should find a way to get up on stage and attempt stand up comedy. Not because I consider myself particularly funny, but just that it seems to be this odd form of vulnerability that you can’t quite find anywhere else.

Hey folks, So, I have to apologize here real quick. Because one of the intentions I had for this space when I was initially working on coming back, was to fill it with far more examples of my creative writing, instead of just putting out a bunch of random crap-posts about whatever is on my…

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a huge fan of naps. Not that I’ve always been super good at actually taking them, but I’ve definitely loved them. When I started having kids in my life was probably the best time I’ve ever had for taking naps. Considering I have a special skill…

We’ve officially made it past the shortest day of the year (you know, ~2 weeks ago), and in Wisconsin, that means that we’re currently making our way through the coldest days of the year as we wait for the sun to actually come back, even if our days are a little bit longer than they…

I obviously wasn’t going to too many places, but it was probably somewhere around the start of summer where I got to this point where it…

If there’s one thing I’ve missed most during this pandemic, it’s probably travel. That’s not to say that my family and I haven’t had the opportunity to travel at all during the past two years. In fact, we had an amazing week in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and a once-in-a-lifetime road trip from…

As someone who tends to ride somewhere along the middle of everything when it comes to politics, religion, and whatever else, I’ve often found myself in a place where I typically can’t find a single person who agrees with me. Like, while it’s possible for me to find someone who will agree with me on…

So, since we’re finally in the new year, and I’ve mentioned a few times how I’ve been looking toward the future, it turns out that now is the perfect time to start making some strategies for how I’m going to live my life now that 2022 is upon us. 2022 is a huge year, I…

Holy crap, it’s 2022 already!
