That sounds like a good idea. It does help, and I do something similar unconsciously, but perhaps it's a good idea to set ( loose) time limits and be more aware of the rotation process as a positive/necessary aspect of my writing process. It's encouraging to know I'm not alone in this!

Hi Luccia,
That is true! I've been playing with the idea of 3-month cycles, where one writing project is predominant while the others take a backseat, and then rotate. Don't know if that might help 🙂

Hi Denise,
That can be true, yes! Each writer will have to decide how they want to do that 🙂

Sometimes it helps and others I just feel overwhelmed!

Hi Fae! That's true. I believe it was Ryan Holiday who once said the best way to keep older books top of mind is to write the next book. And continuing to write is good not just for staying visible, but as you said, you really do improve as you continue. 🙂

Julie, that is true! Switching environments can help unclog the mind. Thanks for sharing, and great job on your NaNo Day One word count! How is the rest of NaNo week one going?

Hi Luccia! It sounds like you are doing the third tip already. Have you found it helping? That's what I do too--have one main project in the foreground, but several in the back that I'm simultaneously feeding, waiting for their turn in the spotlight. I am primarily an English writer, but I would love to hone my foreign language skills so that I can write well in them one day!
