Is it ok to write two books at one time?

In my opinion, it's not. It's not good to write more than one book at one time. For many reasons that I have listed below. I tell people time and time again, use a notebook. Keep a notebookw ith you just incase an idea comes to you. The worse thing a writer can do is get a great idea and then later forget it. View my reasons for sticking to one book at a time.


1. You can get confused when writing the books. You can confuse characters and storylines. Stick with just one.


2. You may get sidetracked and need to move away from your book. If you haven't done an outline for both books you may forget the direction you were trying to go with one or both books.


3. Putting your attention into one book at a time will allow you to put your all into the book; not be sidetracked and focus on that story.


4. You will finish the book in a timely manner. Working on two books at a time will keep your from finish your novels.


If you decide to work on more than book at a time that's ok. I am not saying to not do it. But I don't recommend it if you want your books to be a success and you want toput your all into the book. My advice is to keep a notebook and write down your ideas rather than run with them everytime a new story comes to mind. We as writers, our minds are constantly going and we can easily come up with something good to write about all the time. Use your notebook to keep the ideas fresh!
