I've been staying quiet because, well, I've never written a novel. But I'm serial monogamist with stories: finish a draft, set it aside for another. Because I have to set it aside before I can revise, so I can see it fresh. Only when I'm truly going nowhere on the mess-in-progress will I switch to another, to give it a rest.
I used to be able to write lyric poems on the side of prose stories; with narrative poetry, I don't — whether because of conflicts or simply I've regeared my brain for longer verse, I don't know. Possibly both.
