You have to ask yourself if multiple projects distract you from each other. I have my main one and a few shorts based around the same world on the go. I find that the various stories allow me to always have something to write even if I'm having a block on one or two but my mind still remains saturated with one world, one set of magical laws etc.
Hope that helps.

I think the only way to find an answer to this is to try different things. What works for me might not work for you. I can skip about happily but it might not work for everyone -FE

Thanks for the advice! I'm still unsure what effect the skipping around has done to my writing, besides forcing it to stick to an outline. As for sticking to the same 'magical laws', one of the ideas takes place within the other, so they are still in the same galaxy, but one has a broader scope. Thanks again!
Sincerely,
Dragonwriter

You could skip around. Some authors write their later books (possibly in the middle of a series) first, publishes it, then write the books about theirworld set in an earlier time second. It can work, but it can be confusing for a first-time writer.
I've also planning a saga (six books), and it consists of three different time periods, but somehow they're all connected. I can write the second time period first than write the first, but it can be confusing to the reader and me as well. So I'll suggest to start with book one first then progress to the other books later. That way you can make changes to your world without crossing the trapwire of making it incoherent. Hope this helps!

Personally I like to work on several different things at once, but writing can be more focused if the author is only working in one project at a time.

Hi Dragon Writer,
I don't think it would be a bad thing to write them all in a mixed up order, although when you write them all at different times in different orders, they may not fit together and make sense as much.
