Happy #WIPWednesday writers!
I've got two major projects in the works right now.
1) Another collection of my Flash Fiction stories, this one focused on a variety of different genres.
2) The project my wife has been begging me to complete for years, an original Epic Fantasy.
What are you writing?

"The Teller of Small Fortunes" by Julie Leong
My first cozy fantasy read, and quite enjoyable so far. Strong prose, good character work, and clearly defined stakes centered on each character's internal conflict, rather than on some world-ending catastrophe. So far: I recommend.

Indie Nintendo DS game inspired by Chrono Trigger and FF6 (before being inspired by Chrono Trigger and FF6 was cool).
Absolutely gem of a game, but probably hard to find(?)
The game's biggest fault is that the random encounter rate is a little overclocked, but outside of that its a fantastic JRPG.

In #gaming news, after having Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D and Final Fantasy XVI completely dominating my last two and a half months of gaming, I'm finally back into Dragon Warrior Randomizer.
Gotta de-rust over the next few days in preparation for my first match in the DWR Winter League.

I've played almost every version of Dragon Quest 3 over the years, but none were able to equal the magic of the NES original.
This HD-2D Remake is certainly giving it a run for its money.

What's on your TBR?
I picked on indie book by @jssamaniego.bsky.social at a convention a month or two ago that I've got queued up as my next book. After that I'll probably be jumping into Wind and Truth and getting lost in the Sanderlanche.

I know I'm way late to the party on this one, but I've finally started playing Unicorn Overlord, and it deserves every bit of praise it's gotten this year.

There's something special about reading old #scifi, seeing what predictions come true, and what otherworldy things can be imagined in a different historical and cultural context.
Anyway, I'm rereading "The Martian Chronicles," and you should too!

Excuse me while I replay this absolute gem.
I feel immense pain in my soul that the toys to life nature of the game murdered its sales numbers.
I want a sequel so bad.

I've been on a reading kick recently, and I've pushed halfway through "The Impact of Iwata."
Seeing Iwata's legacy laid out, project by project, is nothing short of amazing.
As an aspiring creative, I am both humbled and inspired.

Rebecca gives great publishing advice over on TikTok, and despite her genre not being in my wheelhouse, it felt right to pick up one of her books.

After a brief detour to finally (finally!) roll credits on the original Final Fantasy, I'm back on my #OctopathTraveler binge and doing my official second run through OT2.
I'm also ecstatic to have the five #GameBoy #Megaman games to play on #NintendoSwitch.
