Lynsey Garrick Author :
I currently have 3 kids books and 2 novels on the go after publishing one picture book.... do what feels right, if the 2nd book is exciting you, maybe its a sign to work on that as a break from the first one, so you got back with fresh eyes x

Erin Batt || Dystopian author :
Do both!! If you’re currently in the technically editing phase of the first book, it helps feed your creative side to keep writing something new. I often struggle with the balance and usually cannot do both in the same day but I like assessing my mood and going from there. Am I feeling creative or am I tired and I’d rather work on something that already exists and I’m just polishing it. Good luck!!

KD Bain|Author&Bookworm🇦🇺📚 :
I’m hopeless at this too 😅 I published my debut novel last month (YAY!) but instead of finishing the sequel that I have half plotted in my head, I’m half way through a draft of a totally different book that has been living rent-free in my head. So. I feel your pain!! Are you close to finishing your debut? If so, maybe push through and get it to the point where you’re happy getting betas, editors etc… and then you can switch gears to your new one. That one would be the sensible plan BUT my brain doesn’t work low that. I have to work on what my brain wants to work on at the time or my creative spark dies!

Do both. I work on my current WIP while planning or writing my next one (usually series). I save weekday writing for WIP 1 and weekend writing for WIP2.

Hi! I’d be interested in being one of your beta readers. I’d be happy to give you honest and constructive feedback on the story, characters, pacing, dialogue, and overall flow. I’d love to hear more about the book if you’re still looking!

Kate Laurie | Author 🇦🇺 :
It didn’t happen with my first book but it’s happened while I’ve been mid writing another book. I couldn’t help but put it on hold so I could start the other one. I think it’s ok to do that. Because you can then go back and read the first with a fresh eye and vice versa. Just go where your creative pull takes you 🥰

I actually did exactly that. I started one book, then another idea became impossible to ignore. I pivoted, finished and published the second book first, and then returned to the first and published that too. The key is to pivot deliberately, not impulsively. Make sure you're moving toward the book that genuinely needs to be written next, not simply away from the difficult part of the one you're already writing.

We all do this! Have one book published, with two sequels I am yet to write. Then I am editing my first book under another pen name, and writing a new book under that same pen name. And so many more ideas. What I've decided to do is finish editing book 1 under pen name 2, then finish my sequels under book 1 pen name 1, then go from there.

depends what works for your brain. I have to ride the wave of inspiration as it's hard to force myself to do anything creative. It's okay to have more than one project on the go. I'm the chaotic type who has far too many things on the go and many abandoned projects but I also do have a fair few finished ones I'm proud of.

as a reader, who always check first if the saga is finished, I'll say is pretty important that you finish the saga and start a new one

I would personally push through on the first booking then go onto the new idea, but I would recommend getting any ideas written down so you can have an easier time writing the second book.

✨✨side quest!✨✨ Bare, Exposed and Embraced are all side quests. those characters wouldn't stop bugging me while I wrote my novel 😅 (novel is still very much in progress)

I’ve done both jumping between projects and focusing on one. Finishing the first project before moving on is more fulfilling, but if you really can’t stop thinking about the new idea, write the first few chapters and make lots of notes before the inspiration dries up. Then circle back to the first book.

Do you think it’s a case of ‘Ooh, shiny new idea!’ I used to struggle with that.Have you completed the first book? If so, it’s not taboo to put it away for awhile because when you come back to your debut book you will have fresh eyes.

Roya Nava | Author 🎙️ 🇨🇦 :
Work on both:) I wrote two different stories, two different genres at the same time… it actually helped me, when I would get stuck or too tired of looking at the same story over and over, the other one helped creatively:)

Yes, I have. If the idea is that brilliant and you’re stuck on it I plot it out… especially if it’s an entirely different genre

With a debut I would probably finish that first and let the new idea be the reward
