Many years passed between when we first thought about writing a book and when we actually thought of a plausible topic for that book. Now that we are well into development, suddenly inspiration is plentiful. And because each new idea is exciting, there is a temptation to start new projects while each idea is fresh in our minds.
However, we are resisting those temptations to start any new projects before this first one is complete. While it occurs to us that multitasking may help somewhat with creativity, we are even more cognizant of the fact that multiple, unfinished projects generate zero revenue. Therefore, the prospect of generating revenue more quickly trumps any other literary desires.
That said, we are jotting down notes as ideas materialize. There are no pages, paragraphs, or even sentences, just bullet points so that we don't forget these ideas later.
If you are an author, especially of multiple works, we are curious how you handle multiple, simultaneous inspirations. Please leave a comment!
