do you work on more than one writing project at a time?

I work on multiple projects at once. It's not too hard and satisfies my urge for variety. Keeping them straight is critical though. If you don't do that, things start bleeding into each other. On my computer, I have separate file folders for each project where all research and drafts are housed. I can only edit in hard copy so I have a three-ring-binder where the projects are separated by tabs. When something is finally done, I create hard-copy files that are organized into bucket folderss. If a project has hard-copy research or notes going with it, those go in their own folders as well. For that I prefer fun folders like the ones kids use for school. Then I have time set aside each day to work on various parts of the process. Part is for writing, part for editing, part for submitting, etc. That way everything is in its place and there is a place for everything. It's the only way I can do it.

Usually I work on, at the least, two books at a time...and at most, three. They usually don't inspire or feed off of eachother, and are always very seperate projects. Keeping them seperate and organized isn't usually an issue, because there's usually a "mood" I get for each one, and I'm rarely ever inspired for both in the same evening.

Yes, I do. If I didn't, I think I'd be bored. A bored me, as anyone who works for me will tell you, is a very bad me if you are the unfortunate person who has to be around my boredom. However, in November I overbooked myself. I had four writing projects going on at once. I'm still slightly in recovery from that experience.

I always have several projects going at the same time, all on the computer. I have notebooks for jotting down ideas, but all the work is done on the computer. I have no problem keeping the projects separate, but I have a lot of trouble figuring out how to allocate time for them all and keep some from getting lost in the shuffle. I write articles for Associated Content, and usually create a folder for the current project, if it involves research. It holds the text file I'm working on and either the URLs or the texts of the articles that are my references. Once the article is finished and uploaded to AC, it goes in an AC submissions folder, and the references are deleted. I'm also working on several book projects, each of which has its own folder in Scrivener, my main writing program. Scrivener is one of those do-all programs that lets me keep outlines, chapters, notes, resources, etc. all in one place. It's my favorite program for serious writing, and without it I'd probably be completely disorganized.

I do have multiple projects going on at any given time- and honestly, it's not very organized. You'd be better off calling my process "chaotic". For the most part, I just work on whatever project I feel like on a given day. If I tire of it, then I move on to one of the other things I want or need to get done. Of course, that's only for projects that are optional, like all of my fiction pieces. If there's a deadline on these projects, however, my priority will be whatever is due first, no matter how big or small the assignment may be. Sorry; I do realize that that's not very helpful to you!

Nope, I don't. It will give a very difficult time to concentrate and seperate the main ideas. I have tried it for a few times because I thought it would save time to work more than one story at the same time. But it is not like that, and for me double work means double difficulties. So I'd rather finish the first story first instead of starting a new one at the same time. Everybody is different, anyway, but that method doesnt work for me.

I sometimes work on more than one project at a time but not always. When I have a big or boring project, I do other, smaller or more interesting things to break it up. If I do too many, I find it hard to concentrate and/or get back into it.

I do work on more than one project at a time, although it goes against my grain. I am the perfectionist, do one thing at a time sort of person. With writing, you just have to adapt. I have an expandable plastic folder with dividers that I use to store notes and other material. I also have a bigger canvas bag with potential information that might be helpful someday. Finally, I use the computer folders to keep things organized. With all this, I don't feel very organized at all. Somehow it works. I'd love to hear how you do it. Good luck with your writing!
