Great post, thank you! I'm currently drafting my first novel, but over the past year I had the idea to start writing some short fiction/poetry, build a website, and start a newsletter. Which has at times slowed my drafting process, 😞. But I want to have things in place, so that I'm not scrambling to do them while also meeting deadlines (🤞 I get to the deadline part). But your email made me realize that this juggling of multiple projects is normal--and maybe even good practice. I need to implement your suggestion of scheduling particular projects, for sure. I tend to lump it all together without prioritizing as much as I should. Thanks again!
Great overview of pub schedules and how to jump between projects, Jodi!
I really thought your comment was going to be a demand for a juggling demonstration.

Getting things in place now so you don't scramble later is smart! I'm glad you're taking care of all that now, while you have time!
