I used to do two at the same time but yeah, I prefer it when I have all my focus on one story so it turns out better.
I could probably do two at a time just I have limited time and struggle to write one with college work. The joys of education haha.

I used to write multiple novels at once, too. Now I've come to realise that I work better if I can just pour all of my energy into one piece at once. It's not that I get confused, more that I don't connect as well to my characters. X3
I took a month off from my trilogy to do a separate novel for NaNoWriMo, and getting back into the novel has been hard, but I'm glad I didn't try to work on both novels. With school I might well have killed myself. =O

So many people wanted me to write another one, I did, instead of writing the last of my trilogy which I got to the middle of, I wrote a short (okay not so short sweatdrop ) story.
Since then, I haven't been able to get back into that story. And I loved it so much...

I'm completely product based for homework, but completely process based for my own writing.
I usually just want to get the homework out of the way so I can write.

Process based unfortunately. My confidence has gotten damaged so I find it hard to just write through something and then edit it later. I'm trying to get back to where I was as a product based writer.

I feel so old, lol. I haven't written an essay for school in more than ten years.
I try not to edit as I write. I just get it down and once it's finished, then I go back and edit.
I found I'm most productive when I only work on one project at a time. When I try to do two or more, I spend more time trying to decide which story I should work on than I do actually writing.

I'm a process based writer. When I write stories, RP responses and essays.
I will literally write a paragraph (sometimes even just a sentence) then go back and read everything I have written. In order to make sure everything makes sense and flows. I will edit as needed. Which sometimes kills me because I see something I don't like, end up changing it, to find out three paragraphs down the new idea doesn't fit.
But I do read, reread, rinse and repeat a million times. It also helps me keep myself in the mood to write, when it starts to dwindle.

I'm a product-based writer when it comes to my school work. Once I've written an essay of any sort for a class, I never revise it unless I absolutely despise what I've written (and even then, I don't rewrite it entirely). There's only ever been one essay I can think of where I've rewritten it entirely from scratch, and that's only because I chose a new topic to write the paper on. I'll go through and edit any spelling/grammar mistakes, though, because I'm a stickler about those.
When it comes to my personal writing, however, I tend to be more of a process-based writer. I'll write it straight through just to get it out, but once I'm done with a section I tend to go back through and revise sentences and word choices and anything I missed the first time. Then when I'm rereading it later on, I go through the process again. Heck, I've rewritten the introduction to one of my stories three or four times, and I still don't like it, so I'll be revising it again once the story is actually done.

I'm usually a process-based writer but lately I've been producty. I know it's just a phase, though. Hopefully I'll get over by the time I finish my novella. Actually, I'm already itching to edit the first half the Purging the Darkness.
