Do you think it's good to start writing two different books together?
Depends on your own preferences, of course. It has some big advantages as well as disadvantages. Personally, I never work on strictly one book at a time: sometimes, I focus mainly on one book for a while unless I get really inspired for something else, and other times, I work on multiple books at a time.
Advantages of writing multiple books at a time:
- When you're inspired to write something new, you can just write it. You don't have to delay it with the danger of no longer being inspired later.
- You can work on whichever book you have the most inspiration for. If you get stuck, you can switch to a different book.
Disadvantages:
- It might be harder to focus on a book (and finish it), or to decide which one to work on next.
- You might start to mix up your books' styles, or reuse similar plot elements (though this should be avoidable if you pay attention to it).
- If you let a book sit for really long, you might forget where you were heading. (On the bright side, if you let a book sit for really long and reread it, you can more easily find mistakes/plotholes/Mary Sues/clichés, and you may also enjoy rereading it and notice the good parts more if you don't remember it as well.)
