Wow, 4 at once? No way could I do that. Don&#039;t you find it takes forever to get any of them written? I can&#039;t remember if you told me how long it took to write LILITH? I&#039;ll stick to one for now, maybe I could write a short story at the same time.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I am very guilty of constantly having thoughts, ideas, new creations and wanting to start new projects...2 books at a time, how about, so far, 4 books? lol As you know I am writing my second book in the Twin Soul Novels series (Main priority) and you know I am working on a fantasy trilogy that keeps calling me but I am also putting together one called Arabelle and a post apocalypse story which is mainly a bit of fun between me and my friends as they wanted me to write a story with them in it. What better way then to force them to survive a dying world full of maniacs? my friends would love it! they are all so cooky!! anyway yeh, I can work on multiple projects.]]></description>

I think it makes sense to be continuing taking notes, researching, journaling, updating outlines etc., because the last thing you want is to lose that inspiration. I think it&#039;s quite another thing to actually write 2 books at once. I&#039;d love to hear from someone who does.

I realized the irony in my post when I constantly READ two books at once, though usually it&#039;s one fiction and one non-fiction. This probably means that I could write two books in this same way.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Graeme,

Interesting post!  Two things here... I believe when a creative moment strikes, the artist needs to do everything they can to seize the moment as it happens; life itself restricts creativity enough on its own, so as creatives we shouldn&#039;t self-inflict.

The second thing is I fully believe multitasking is a movement pushed by business to get more work out of people, it was born shortly after the WindowsXP OS was marketed as &quot;multitasking&quot;, but it only results in increased stress levels in people--killing Creativity as its first victim.  The brain adapts as a matter of survival, so most people aren&#039;t aware there is even a problem.

Regardless, genius arrives from deep thought, and if we never give ourselves the chance for it (multitasking) then how can we expect it to happen to us?  History has revered the deep thinker for thousands of years, so it baffles me why the last 10-15 years advocates against it...

So for me, being able to deeply concentrate on one project, not forced multitasking, melds with my temperament and feels natural.  However, when ideas for other stories come in, I let the power of creativity take its course, and that gets satisfied by updating an outline or researching.

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Graeme,
1 tiny thing - how about making &quot;NaNoWriMo&quot; a hyperlink to the web site?  I had to open a new tab to find out what it was...  :-)
I&#039;m no author, but I am a model kit builder, and UNLIKE most of fellow modelling-club members, I can&#039;t even built more than one kit at a time!  They (mostly) all seem to be able to work on multiple kits simultaneously, but I&#039;ve got to finish one before I feel like I can start a new one.  Maybe that&#039;s just me.....???
