I was looking for a game to play and I know I have Chrono Trigger mixed in with my box of PS1 RPGs. But I also know Legend of Dragoon is in there and itβs going to lay that guilt trip on me for bidding on it on Ebay then never playing it. Silent Hill wonβt keep quiet, either.

12.03.2025 00:09 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Wow, I am terrible at updating. Anyway, I just finished writing the fourth chapter of my fantasy WIP. 13 scenes, 15000 words. I worried it may be starting too slow but Iβve already had 3 fights and some naked people so, weβll see. #writingfantasy

16.01.2025 20:00 β π 1620 π 373 π¬ 28 π 10Just finished writing the first chapter of my WIP, The Journal of Drek Demonslayer. The next scene has already changed itself from my outline. Itβs giving off a serious βWeekend At Berniesβ vibe. Going to be fun to see how it turns out. #writingfantasy
19.01.2025 11:32 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Book cover: CHUCK WENDIG'S WANDERERS. Features eerie sunset sky and a bent, rusted watertower and some shambling hobbity-lookin dude wandering down field path. It says NATIONAL BESTSELLER, which is nice, and includes a nice quote from the Toronto Star which compares it to Stephen King, Emily St John Mandel, and Justin Cronin's books.
I do not know why my novel WANDERERS is a mere buck-ninety-nine at your favorite electric bookmonger site of choice, but it is, so if you want, y'know, creepy sleepwalking disease peri-apocalyptic sci-fi horror with a hefty dash of EAT SHIT A.I., then hey, it's 800 pages for 199 pennies.
