⎯⎯ I’ve been asked how I’m able to work on 3+ books at the same time. Babes…I have poorly managed ADHD and I can’t focused on 1 book at a time cause I get easily bored.
I try to rotate updates if I can, but I don’t force it. If I’m in the mood to write a certain book then I write on it then until I need a pallet cleanser and I work on another. I do have priority books that I work on more than others while the others are pallet cleansers. And engagement does influence me to get it out faster, but still, I’ma mood writer. I don’t force it or it’ll feel like a chore and not something I genuinely enjoy writing. I TRY to write/group my books within the same genre (to write together) with 1 being different so im still in the headspace of the environment, and I’m keeping it fresh and fun.
Does it bite me back in the ass? Yes. I get mad headaches, prolonged updates, etc. Have I ever mixed up my worlds? No. Funny enough, when I’m working on a WIP, it’s like my brain tunes out all the others and everything about this book comes to me without a problem. If it’s been a while, I do a read through so I’m back in the headspace and don’t lose the narrative. Do I regret it? No. I LOVE writing. I love creating new stories and exploring them and exploring/expanding my skills even at the expense of my health at times. I’m doing better at it, but it’s one of my biggest passions. I’d do it over again.
But there’s no cheat code. I’m suffering for the love of passion.
