The whole "sinning and not following up with a confession" is definitely a catholic thing.<br /><br />I think that your writing method works excellent for you and that's all that matters. You are extremely productive, and are building your brand successfully. Look at me...some dude in Utah that knows all about J.L. Campbell from Jamaica. That shows you that what you are doing is having an effect, you have reach, and are slowly but surely becoming a "known" author.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137802664622571509.post-62387772926417072452012-05-24T08:10:30.044-05:002012-05-24T08:10:30.044-05:00I tend to work on one project at a time, although ...I tend to work on one project at a time, although I have written fiction while also writing non-fiction.

I've had to start learning to (even though I prefer to be one-track minded) now that I have an agent and I have to juggle more than one manuscript.
