See, I know myself, and if I do that, I'll just keep starting new ones, and never get the time to go back to the old ones, because there is always a newer shinier one I could be starting. (I. Yeah. The ideas, they come.) Also, if stop immersing myself in a fandom/story, I stop being able to do the character voices to my satisfaction, so I can't really switch back and forth between several disparate stories easily. So I'm figuring out ways to get over being stuck quickly, to keep things rolling.
Also I've tried to do the page-a-day type things repeatedly since I was about twelve, and it just doesn't seem to work for me. It's not *just* a question of discipline, I have maintained the page-a-day thing for months several times, but what I get when I do that is unbearable dreck. Several pages every few days, or a bunch once a week, works a lot better for me - but of course that doesn't really work with the "need to keep things rolling" part. So I'm figuring out strategies to compromise between the two, at the same time I'm working on the habits that make it harder for me to do it your way. Someday I will be able to sit and do a couple of novels a year! I hope. It took me a long time just to figure out why it wasn't working for me, I'm learning more every time I sit to write.
