Yes, even I participate in the "creative stampede" of the National Novel Writing Month. It intrigues me as an experiment:  If morphic fields really work as proposed, it should get steadily easier for ordinary people to write novels for each passing year, as the growing horde of novelists clear the brush.  So far this seems to work according to theory. (It has gone on for some years already, and it keeps growing.)

As for me, I write a novel set in a world where there is less distance between matter and spirit than here (or at least than is generally supposed to be here, some of you might take exception). In that other world, a kind of holy aura simply called "the Light" is available to all who utterly desist from lies and deceit in word or deed, and who sincerely repent and renounce all their lies of the past.  They begin to channel the power that "reveals, warns, protects and heals", and by blessing people, animals, plants and objects relentlessly over a long time, their ability to channel the Light slowly increases to miraculous levels.  This year's novel is the second in a series about a young man of humble origins and ordinary wits, who has chosen the path of a Lightwielder.

In "Moonlit Path", our hero travels across the continent together with a young woman. A new focus in this book is on the relationship between the sexes when you are physically unable to lie.  It is family-friendly and written in a simple language, but it is not a children's book.  And of course, the characters may still have some surprises for me...
