Goodreads asked Robert Masello:

What are you currently working on?

Robert Masello That's a good question -- right at this second, I am waiting to hear back from my editor, who received the revised draft of my upcoming novel about a week ago. In a writer's life, this is a tricky time - you want to keep working, but you don't quite know on what. I know I'll hear back in another week or two (at most) about the current manuscript, so I'm reluctant to start in on something altogether new that I would then have to drop when the editor gets back to me with her next round of notes. Unlike some writers, I'm incapable of keeping more than one big idea in my head at one time. I have to focus entirely on one subject, which used to drive my wife (oops, ex-wife) crazy. In a novelist, monomania isn't such a bad thing.
