I think my head would explode if I tried to stick with one story, but I do admire the ability in other people. Even the running commentary from the announcer! How does that guy squeeze us all in?

I'm in awe that you can handle so many projects at once. I rarely handle more than two at a time. :smile: Great post, Tara. I’m in awe that you can handle so many projects at once.

"An unexpected contender coming up from the rear, erotic novella,..." :lol: An erotic, coming up from the rear...imagine. :mrgreen: I have quite a few things on the go, but I can usually only focus on two at a time--write one, polish another--don't know how you juggle up to ten! Go girl. What a fun comparison, Tara!

I usually have multiple works going at the same time. Recently, I've tried to focus on just one story, but it's stalled out and I'm frustrated. I guess I should just go back to multitasking cause if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Tara,

I look like a chicken with her head cut off when an idea strikes. I run frantically looking for a pen and paper and if there isn't one around I repeat the phrase over and over as though chatting incantations. So the ability to keep it in your mind is admirable. Elise ~ Sometimes the story that hovers at the finish line is waiting for that one last sentence that locks everything into place like the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle. I picture muses doing puzzles now. Eden ~ Keeping a story in your head is a real trick. I look like a chicken with her head cut off when an idea strikes.
