I've been working on writing two novels at the same time. It has been an interesting experiment.
One of my greatest roadblock is that sometimes I get stuck. I've always seemed to be a short burst writer. I'd write a couple thousand words and then get blocked until the next day.
I used to just write short stories after I got blocked.
However, I have been switching off. I think my brain likes this better. I got the idea from my lovely wife
[Bad username or unknown identity: “insatia”] and a creative writing book from college
Creating Short Fiction by Damon Knight.
My muse certainly loves this approach. In honor of Creating Short Fiction by Damon Knight, I’ve decided to name my muse Rick James.
