LOL well you do also have kids, which is a time requirement I'm not facing.
True! But even before I had kids, I avoided working on multiple projects wherever possible. I have on occasion had two long-form works of writing going at the same time, but when there was no other option. I never read more than one book at a time, and honestly sometimes I find it hard to read at all when I am writing a book (which is always, so that's bad, haha). But much respect to those who can keep lots of irons in the fire!
the time spent ripping back in a project shouldn't be viewed as moving backward but just as part of moving forward that just hadn't been foreseen.
omg this sounds *eerily* like what I try to tell myself when I tearing up my drafts during revision. sometimes, though, like today... when I found a draft of my current chapter from 2013 and it was better than the stuff I've been working on lately, it is hard to believe it. Like ugh, am I actually going backwards??? blah.
