I like being busy.

But I still do it. The closest I've come to multitasking is doing rewrites on two manuscripts at the same time. That was okay because I already ha the voices worked out. I worry with rough drafts, I'll screw up voice. But every writer has a different way to doing things, so there's no right way.<br /><br />Good luck!Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227786909099691933.post-48245646343932757592010-08-17T06:20:40.275-07:002010-08-17T06:20:40.275-07:00Multi-tasking is just part of life.

Thank so much for the shout-out :) You made me feel loved!<br /><br />I multi-task like the best of them, both in the real world and the wip world. I have four stories brewing in my head and a few others that are tucked away in notebooks but wanting to bust out. My only problem is I don't have enough time to get to them all. Such a bummer!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667521490706435608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227786909099691933.post-91461827383470159912010-08-17T04:50:21.901-07:002010-08-17T04:50:21.901-07:00Wow.

Google Reader has been very naughty lately, but I don't know how to live without it. Sigh.<br /><br />I can multi-task like a crazy woman at work. Ok, I can do it at home too, but I don't LIKE doing it at home. I like doing one thing at a time. But that's just impossible. So sometimes I get grumpy when I really want to write/read/clean/play with the kids and am forced to do something ELSE.Vicki Rochohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07381089434014961076noreply@blogger.com
