Keep me floatin while I work on my Novel

I am writing a novel inspired by a psychosis. Last summer I wrote 50,000 words. It is reflective of my journey through mental illness, spiritual unwellness, gender and sexuality. Instead of telling the story of my illness, I am telling the story of what my illness was trying to tell me.

In the world I create women are aflicted with a spiritual block, which hides their true nature from themselves and others. Something happens that disrupts this blockage and woman are plunged into a spiritual plane of existance, exiting the physical world. Some left completely, both their bodies and minds ejected from this reality. Others, leave their bodies behind. Some perhaps, their spirits.

The story starts with this aburpt rift, and what follows is the journey back into the physical realm and the experiences of people as they navigate this landscape where the gender spectrum has been put on an axis of physical to non-physical, including some poly characters, religious, ex-religious, genderfluid, gay, trans, asexual, etc .... what may at first seem like a clear division between the physical and spiritual worlds unravels, as all characters are affected by the exodus of "femininity" and what that means to them in their day-to-day lives, where many people (the bulk of humanity) try to go on like this is normal.

This could turn into a 5-book series, released in two sets, the first two books and then later the final 3 books.
