I have suddenly found myself paralyzed in an indecision of the Coke or Pepsi magnitude.
I recently got some feedback on a manuscript I ‘finished’ several months ago, and would be totally ready to dig into it if however I also happen to be two drafts in to a completely new one, leaving me with in a very difficult situation.
Which do I work on? And which one do I not? Which one do I pour my love and energy into, and which one do I abandon like some poor helpless tabby trapped in an apartment fire and about to burn alive because it’s selfish owner could only carry one clawing feline out to safety?
I have no idea. All I know for certain, is that in the words of Russel Peters, somebody’s going to get hurt real bad. Probably me.

Let the one you ‘finished’ wait until you need a break from your current one. Then give it some attention, and when you’re done, you’ll be refreshed for the newer work.
No one needs to die in a blaze of abandonment.
Thanks for the advice…that is just what my agent lady friend told me…:)
Unless the one you finished has a deadline, I say put it off for a little while and continue working on your current manuscript until you need a break from it.
Two for two, guess it’s settled then! Thanks so much for the advice!
You’re welcome 🙂
