I was a much slower writer when I had younger kids, fwiw. As the kids have gotten older, and as I'm not working full-time (which I was, while writing, before my oldest was born), I've found more brain-space with which to work.
When I'm writing first draft, and I reach the end of a particular project, it does eat my brain, and I generally blitz that, and leave everything else on hold until it's done. But some things -- like page proofs, for instance -- can't wait =/.
But absent the end of a book, I can break new words on two different projects as long as they're substantially different in tone. At least so far.
