Hi everyone,
I am getting to the stage in writing where I am hitting a bit of a of metaphorical wall. Whilst I am writing my current novel, I keep getting loads of ideas for another novel that, at the moment, seems to be more exciting and better than the one I am currently working on. Should I just make notes for the second one and carry on with the one I am doing at the moment or just start the second one?
Is it a good idea to have two novels 'on the go' at once?
Has this happened to anyone else when they have been writing?
Thanks,
Laura
This happens to me constantly. I literally mean 24/7.
I get an idea for a novel and I'm 150 Words in and then I get an idea for another novel. So I literally have a folder full of novel ideas, I think there is about 30 ideas for novels in it. And only 150 words or less written for each one. Then after that I just can't continue because another idea comes etc. Once a new idea comes I can't seem to work on the previous idea. So I end up with nothing. All the time. It's the most frustrating thing ever. I don't think there's anything I can do about it either!
But, hopefully, someone may be able to help you! I suggest (although it doesn't work for me) that you write your new idea down and then continue on the one you're currently working on (If you can!)
Good Luck! x
