Not actively. I might have several books in the queue (for example, right now I just finished copyedits on a short story, I am about to start writing another short story, I have edits waiting on one book, and am anticipating edits on another before too long), but I can only hold one book in my brain at a time. So, I get to a stopping point on one before moving to another.

And I cannot actively draft more than one book at a time. TOO MANY VOICES.

0! 50,000,000! Somewhere in between!

I am not an every-single-day goal type of writer. When I am working on something, I write as much as I feel like, which is often 5 or 6k a day. When I am working on something on deadline that I might not particularly want to work on, I set daily chapter goals (usually 3k a day, depending).

When I am not working on anything, I write nothing, and I don’t feel bad about it. For some people it really works to have a set amount of daily writing. I am not one of those people, and it’s okay if you aren’t, either.

Tell me some winning lotto numbers, and then I’ll answer your question…

Oh, do you mean in books? Yes, learning the mechanics of writing a novel DOES tend to make you pay closer attention so you notice details other readers might miss. Plus, you get such a good sense of plot that oftentimes you can get an idea of what is coming.

(But seriously, if you mean in real life instead of just in novels, I have several business propositions for you.)
