TOO MANY WRITING PROJECTS?

I have a tendency to work on more than one story or novel at a time. I like to flit among them like a bee in a rose garden.

Part of that is my ADD or ADHD, I think. Been trying to train myself to focus on one thing at a time. But it just isn't my nature.

I noticed the other day, online I think, a profile of a highly successful businessman who said he succeeded because of his ADHD, his ability to keep many balls in the air at one time, like a juggler.

Right now I only have two that I am pursuing almost every day, "Alien Love" and "Looking for Suzie Sunshine." The first one is really done, and I am just futzing with the language, which I love to do. In Hollywood, they call this polishing, but I don't think that metaphor is apt. To me, it's more like fine-tuning.

Also, I like to write in different styles with stories in different settings. I cannot imagine writing about the same characters in the same same setting over and over again.

But never say never.

One advantage of working on different projects: You never wake up in the same world twice.
