Yeah...if one is where you need to be, then that's where you need to be.
For me, working on several concurrently is habit: today frex, I just finished a very nasty, very wrenching scene, and after my tea and LJ-run I'll be doing a rollicking scene for another book, and then I'll rewrite something with some added emotional texture that I thought of during the middle of the night for a third, and ponder the entry point for a tough scene in the fourth. Habit.
But any one of those could grab me by the chitlins and demand I do only it for a stretch, in which case that's what I do.
