bairnsidhe November has returned, and with it, NaNoWriMo! National Novel Writing Month is a worldwide challenge (regardless of the Na part of the acronym) to write a novel, defined as 50,000 words of story, in one month. I'm not right in the head, so I join every year. This year my book is going to be a YA novel about changelings, the half-fae or fae-touched beings that still carry traces of fae magic in the mortal world. They are all also (mis)diagnosed with ASD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, simply because their typical neurology doesn't match that of a pure human, nor for that matter of a pure fae.
What does this mean for you, my dear readers?
Well, it means that I'm going to be focusing my writing on the novel, and less on new short works. So, you'll have fewer new freebies (don't worry, I'll still do a clearance poll for October, I'm just a little behind) and if you want much posting at all, you'll have to buy it. You can find my for sale works here.
It also means I'm going to need lots of encouragement. So if you think a novel of autistic changelings and mathemagicians is up your alley, feel free to come cheer me on. I'll post weekly accountability updates on Tuesdays, so you can see how I'm doing and give moment-specific support and feedback. If you'd like to keep me in hot chocolate and index cards through this trying time, you can toss some money in the Tip Jar.
And now I go to write a novel. Wish me luck!
