I have a general idea of when I want to work on everything- Monday/Wednesday/Friday for already written novels, Tuesday/Thursday for planning/writing prompts and Saturday/Sunday, I’ll either take a break or work on whatever I feel like working on. I need some kind of structure, and I figure it’ll be easier to focus my attention on each project if I have specific days to work on everything. It really makes me glad I have my binder, because it’ll be a great way to keep everything organized.
My writing “schedule” isn’t etched in stone or anything, so I’ll change it when I feel like I need to but I definitely need to get working on everything because I feel weird not working on my NaNo novels and my long-forgotten fanfics.
Part of it is definitely my inner editor. It’s like there’s this voice telling me that my projects aren’t worth working on (even though they are!) because they’re crap. I’ve never finished anything I’ve started, but I am determined this time, because I like some of what I’m written, and I really want to see these projects to the end of the 1st draft.
I do have another fanfic idea. It’s really more of an inkling, than an actual idea, so I might work on it, I might not. At the rate I’m racking up these plot bunnies, I might have to do my own version of NaNo in some other month. Or…I could use script frenzy as my way of getting started on these ideas. But instead of doing a script, I could write a novel or two.
