@EricJ, I hear you! This is how I work too. Often one or two main projects on the go at once during their initial planning, outlining and rough draft/pre-writing phases, then just one takes over. However, I allow myself to consider new ideas, develop them while they're fresh and growing. That sometimes lasts an hour, sometimes a few days (during which I work on multiple projects). Yes, I could be more disciplined and dedicated to a single project at one time. I would get that project finished more quickly. But I enjoy working as I do, and I do get my projects done. And, as EricJ says, it keeps me moving forward, keeps the creative gears turning when I'm stuck on one story or another.
