Switching sounds good, if that works for you. :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516493326566981116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-65809565859197207532014-07-08T16:43:19.375-04:002014-07-08T16:43:19.375-04:00I used to work on one project at a time.

Since then, I have a couple things going at any one time just so I can switch between them when one starts to annoy me.<br /><br />I like having questions when I can't think of anything to comment on from a blog post, but I'll ignore them if I have something that I want to say.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-51031684618379862842014-07-08T13:18:58.967-04:002014-07-08T13:18:58.967-04:00I'm curious as to who says the questions are t...I'm curious as to who says the questions are the best way to get conversations going. Personally, I hate them. Your post ought to be able to spark the conversation; if it's not able to do the job, you haven't written a good post.<br /><br />At this point, I have never gotten sick of anything that I was working on. I do usually work on multiple projects but not because I want to.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-21536578913633145952014-07-08T11:45:56.389-04:002014-07-08T11:45:56.389-04:00It sounds best to take a break from it for awhile....It sounds best to take a break from it for awhile.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-11433062823490074782014-07-08T11:22:58.405-04:002014-07-08T11:22:58.405-04:00Every time I have worked on more than one first dr...Every time I have worked on more than one first draft -- switching back and forth between them -- one of them ended up stomping the other. It would WIN my attention, and the other project would fade away to become one of the great swamp of unfinished stories.<br /><br />Now, once I had books under contract, I HAD to work on more than one project at a time, but they were usually in different stages.

The only time I grow sick of a project is during the first draft. At that point, I just want it done and on paper.Alex J.
