25K on the new #Arrowflight novel, jumping into chapter 9. 40+ years of worldbuilding on the TTRPG, a film, a comic, and finally the first novel set in that world.

Wrote this sentence in the WIP today and it made me chuckle...

But it wouldn't be a proper religion without some strange and unsettling lore.

Todd Downing (author) @todddowning.com · Oct 3

Thanks! It's my favorite part of the process, seeing words I wrote in print, and my artwork on the cover. As an artist friend of mine is fond of saying, "It's like a real thing!"

Author copies arrived today! They look great!
Paperback available on Amazon, and coming to retail (via IngramSpark) on Oct 17th!

Sitting at just over 15K words into the #Arrowflight WIP, and haven't even begun the main mission. I'm loving the process of getting to know my MC couple and their weird connection. A very different process from my usual pulp adventure material, where 15K would be a quarter through the story.

Almost at 12K words on the new #fantasy WIP (based on the #Arrowflight #TTRPG). Feels nice to let the setting breathe a bit.

My brother Matthew would have turned 55 today, which is a surreal concept. His death at far too young an age was a tragic loss, and yet, he's always been with us - even with my younger siblings who didn't know him.

Love you, Matt. Always. ❤
