THERE IS NO WAY I CAN FINISH NOVMO THIS YEAR.

NONE WHATSOEVER.

I am super pregnant, can barely think straight, and have totally gotten out of the habit of writing lately.

Still! I am sooooo excited for this story.

Think: Norwegian Fairy Tale about the Princess and the Glass Hill (kind of a gender flipped Cinderella)

BUT:

- The princess has actual AGENCY and isn't merely a passive prize to be won. In fact, the whole reason why she's on the glass hill on the first place is because she is trying to give herself some sort of power, instead of just being forced to marry whatever man her father wants to put her with.

- The boy is kind of a soft cinnamon roll who only goes up the glass hill at first to stick it to his awful brothers... but when he sees the princess, he quickly panics and realizes he is way over his head about everything.

ALSO. More stuff about hay farming because, as someone who owns a hay farm... well... I feel pretty happy to talk about this stuff, lololol.

ANYWAY. I said I have no way of finishing this... and this is still 100% true. But I have to say, I've tried. I actually have an outline this time, which cannot be said about my last NovMo. So, even though there's no friggin' way I can finish this and write 50k words, short of a miracle, I am going to my best to have fun and see how far I can go anyway. :)

WISH ME LUCK!

Snoink! Me too! There's no way in heck I'm gonna be able to do NaNo but!

I'm writing a dragon mage fantasy novel about a warrior displaced in time by Death and having to navigate a whole group of soulmates alongside the changes in the thousands of years she's been displaced. But old enemies and futures are marching forward regardless! A lot of this series is inspired by Chera Carmichael's Dragel Verse <3
May the gentle moon take you into peaceful dreams. May the mighty sun brighten your new days.

We're like an unofficial club where we want and plan to write so much, but life seems to be holding us back. I'll be giving my all too, and my best to you!! Love the plot you've got going, I've written some poems on a spooky Cinderella retelling myself. But your version sounds so intriguing >.>
