I have 4 novel...I definitely have writer's ADD. I have 4 novels going, a few different short stories (though only one on my mind right now, the others are more for fun at this point), and I'm participating in a Torg roleplaying game/co-writing adventure with a bunch of friends that we started in August. (Doing it on a forum and the culture clash we just had was so much fun!)<br /><br />But I'm not a strictly SOTP writer. I used to be, but now I've started creating brainstorming chapter summaries before writing them out. It helps me with plotting since that's my weak area. <br /><br />But yes, having multiple projects lets me go work on something else when I've narrowed my focus too closely on one story or get stuck. Oftentimes, while I'll working on something else, I'll get a brain flash over the problem area. And because I love all my MCs, I'm excited to revisit them.<br /><br />And oh the rewrites. My first major novel has gone through so much rewriting and I'm only halfway through at the farthest point, not counting the climax that was the inspiration of the whole thing. But even when I've left it alone for several months, I keep coming back to it.<br /><br />I suppose I do pretty much match the SOTP mentality with a few plotting tools added in for balance. Love your descriptions. And I'm glad I don't have any deadlines right now other than the one I gave myself regarding my short story. I'd probably be way past them otherwise.Jaleh Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942272578488986874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217391718085448472.post-62425501871178492842011-09-28T22:05:39.816-05:002011-09-28T22:05:39.816-05:00thanks joy! i'm a follower of yours now, too! ...thanks joy! i'm a follower of yours now, too! :)Jeannie Campbell, LMFThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958943404601029395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217391718085448472.post-54355920740930015762011-09-28T21:52:07.813-05:002011-09-28T21:52:07.813-05:00Hey Jeannie!
