Hopefully Cece will bake us some cookies. Rene - I get that - even though I techinically write in the same area of romance, I do try and work on something that's a little lighter when I'm working on something with a dark edge to it. Tori is an honorary Aries... Charlene - it does make sense. I do the same, because then I feel like at least I'm moving ahead on something - helps when you get stuck on one book. *waves to Jaye* Yay! Another one who's hanging out on the dark side. PBW - that's a great idea. I've been having trouble setting daily word counts for myself, since I never seem to make them. I'll make up the word count I schedule for the week in a few days, but I really need to utilize those other days better. :worried: PJ - Capricorns are cool people:wink:

Tori is an honorary Aries…

However many windows I have open, I keep an eye my wordcount for what I'm scheduled to write, and if I'm lagging, I close the other windows and write solo-story for the rest of the day.

When a book reaches a certain critical mass, it needs total focus. But until that point I found I doubled my productivity by working on more than one thing. If that makes sense. :LOL: I’ll work on more than one at a time to a point, and then I focus on one until it’s finished. When a book reaches a certain critical mass, it needs total focus.

I am SO not the person to ask. When I actually am writing, I have been known to hop around more than a Mexican jumping bean. :lol: ROFL! I am SO not the person to ask.

I'm not patient enough to do otherwise. :grin: I have done that in the past, but if I want to finish a book it has to be one at a time. I’m not patient enough to do otherwise. :grin:

Whenever I have a historical going, I usually needed something less intense to work on. I always have two going and I try to alternate between them.

Um...no. With my life lately - working on one is a challenge, but normally, I can only work on one during a sitting, but I have a scratch pad for any ideas that pop up for the other(s). Right now I have two WIPs, though one is getting more work than the other. And who says it's only an Aries thing? I'm technically a Capricorn - and it seems to work that way for me too. :thumbsup: :eek: Five at once? Um…no.

Just never seems to work out.:LOL: Eve - I can understand Mr. L'Amour's process. I really can. LMAO @ Emma! I'm writing, Alison - am writing!! Cece - my method's similar in a way - because if I don't write down what's nagging me about / from the other story, I'll never move ahead on what I'm trying to do. Well, yeah, Raine - I can't be surprised. Maybe it's an Aries thing...:lol: Bonnie - I really try and stick with one. Just never seems to work out.:LOL:
