I've been writing the new novel for about a year now. It started out as a fairly simple romance but the more I 'discovered' about the characters, the more complex the narrative became. I suppose that's what happens when you have characters living with neurodivergence. You have to work out what comes from where and how characters with different divergencies interact and fail to interact.

I'm having a break from it now, and letting it all sink in. Meanwhile, I'm reading about trauma, and Queer Ecology - maybe that will be helpful! Every novel has an ecology of sorts, I think. And mine is definitely a Queer one!
