Aimless Introduction

"This is an introduction (or preface) to a book I'm writing about the year I spent traveling the United States--walking, hitchhiking, trainhopping--with a large, heavy backpack and no income. I posted it here because I would like feedback from people who don't know me. I want to know if this short introduction makes you want to continue reading the rest of my story. If it doesn't, I'd like to know why not. I want you to rip me apart with criticism so I can make it better."

Ignore this story and instead read "Aimless Introduction"

"I meant to make this linear, but I screwed up and I can't figure out how to change it. Check out "Aimless Introduction" for the real thing. (I'm not deleting this because the obsessive-compulsive part of me doesn't want to get rid of the comments.)"
