I also prefer that they be in different genres-- I like to work on a historical and a contemporary, or a contemporary and a paranormal. If I get bored with one (or stuck), I can go work on the other for a while! I prefer to work on more than one WIP at once.

It's good to know I'm not completely weird! ;) Oh good, Ellen!! *sigh of relief* I was thinking I might be an anomaly. It’s good to know I’m not completely weird!

If it's a matter of getting partials together, then I can work on several projects at once. I do find I'm much slower when I split my attention this way, but I'm hoping that changes once I get into the habit of working on multiple projects.

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.sylviaday.com/blog/2004/09/10/91/#comment-208 I work on at least 2 at a time - right now, one of them is more of a romantic suspsense and one of them is my contemporary light paranormal stuff. That way, if I get stuck, I can move from one to the other. For instance, I'm working on a paranmormal-ish trilogy, but don't want each story to sound too much like the other - I find throwing in a suspense ms keeps my writing fresher for the paranormals. :) I work on at least 2 at a time - right now, one of them is more of a romantic suspsense and one of them is my contemporary light paranormal stuff.
