What's your opinion on multiple Quest projects?

My deal is that I'm in a hurry to make a Quest in the newest Game Boy tileset that Akkubus released, but at the same time I want to finish Molka Elite. I guess I could always work on two at once, but I wanted to know first if doing that was considered strange or un-cool by the general ZC populus. I'm guessing not, but still I'm just gonna make sure, mainly because I'm curious...
Here's hoping this will spark up another cool conversation. --Schwa

Every time I was making a little miniquest, I almost completely halted my main project. Really, dividing your time between quests... fewer time you can work on each, or postponing of another... I don't like it...

You don't want them to seem too similar so you have to think of unique ideas for each one. Of course even if you made the second one later you wouldn't want it to be the same but if you do them at the same time you might feel that you have less time to think up ideas or you might get the quest maker's equivalent of writer's block.
I don't think its wierd or anything myself I just think you have to decide if you can handle it or not.
It is probably a good idea if your doing two though to make one your main project and the other quest just something to do on the side. In fact it could be a good thing because you could test concepts for you main project in your other quest. Then even if you don't think it would work in your main quest it could be a good idea for your other one.

I'm like that with everything, not just ZC.
I do have more than one project at present, I'm helping with Lord Ike's quest project thingy, and I've got something going with Migokalle, but if I'm to work on them I'll have to do it in chunks between the three.
I also never actually closed off any of my old projects officially...
But meh =P
Most of them sucked =P

For instance right now I'm working on my Star Wars quest pretty much full time. In the meantime, I've been working on a Classic Minish Cap sequel. I only work on it though when I'm bored of Star Wars, or have a whole lot of time on my hands. I mainly just stick to Star Wars though. I'm passionate about my SW quest, and just piddle around with my Classic Minish Cap Sequel quest. It's okay to take on more than one - if you can handle it, but for goodness sakes stay focused on ONE at a time...

Well, if you have 17 projects going on at the same time... Then... well, I had once... and it sucks...
BUT
What I did, was merging all the ideas into one big mega idea.
Which is The Hylian Phoenix today.
I still have more than one projects in the works... I'm in the same shoe as Joe123 here.

Kinda.
But really, I can't work on one thing at a time. I need variety.
I guess not everyone have this abillity, but I sure do.

Thanks for the advice. I have a pretty clear understanding now about the whole issue with multiple projects. I see myself working on a side-project in addition to my main one, it might actually be beneficial in many ways (like with Ebola, how I could take a break when my inspiration is gone then be refreshed after working on the side project for a while).
Ah well, we'll see what happens. Since Molka Elite crashed and I lost all that data, right now things are telling me I should work on just Molka Elite for now and try to repair what was lost. Once I'm rolling with that again, maybe I can think about picking up a project with the GB tileset like I wanted...
And yeah, 17 projects is just ridiculous. Sadly I know some people that would consider it...
