Hi Cynthia, I started writing my YA romantic fantasy ,The Promise about two years ago and it still needs work! In between I dabble with the same genre romance but aimed at adults. I currently have two projects undergoing which I hope to submit to Harlequin or Mills & Boon at some point later this year.I debated back and forth, but when it gets tough with the revisions it's good to keep writing. I believe it actually helps and when you go back to your other work you are more focused and able to continue.  HTH Jen

I've got three novels going. I put the first on hold because the magnitude of it scared me. The second was a NaNoWriMo win that I'm 3/4 of the way to a first draft on but then was distracted by an illness and year long treatment. Rather than jump back into finishing it when I was ready to write again, I started another for NaNoWriMo again.

The third one I am trying to finish before going back to the second but, the second story has been on my mind lately so I did take some notes, and wrote a scene that was playing in my head so i wouldn't forget it.

I have been itching to get back to the first novel since I'm much more confident writing now and have a firmer grasp on what I need to do but I think there are too many interwoven stories to juggle (six storylines/MC).

While I do write notes as thoughts come to me and actively keep all the novels in my thoughts, I think I need to push now to get one story to get done.

Cynthia, you're following in the footsteps of Isaac Asimov. He typically had several projects going at once. (Given the diversity of his output, they may have been a mix of fiction and nonfiction.) When he felt the teensiest bit weary of what he was writing, he turned to the next with renewed enthusiasm.

Is anyone else out there silly enough to try to write more than one novel at a time?  I find that when I write my characters into a corner I can switch gears and push the next one forward a little bit while the first one sorts itself out.  Not very focused, plus I expect it takes longer to make progress on any front.  Thoughts?

When you publish that first novel, where will you get it reviewed? I interview Diane Prokop about the new breed of blogger reviewers. She reviews fiction and non, and has tips for authors who do readings, plus some great stories about the authors she has interviewed. Informative for us writers who will need reviews.

Hi Laura
My debut novel, Mama's Shoes, was recently published. I would love to share the story of how I won a punishing contract by entering a contest in Writer's Digest!

Hi everyone! I'm new to She Writes & because I'm just in the process of fine-tuning and finishing up my first novel, I thought that this would be the perfect group to join ;).
