FOUR!!! I have trouble with one at a time!! least ones that I plough through to the end with. I need to be single-minded. Only the one set of characters/plot in my head at a time when creating. Editing is a different matter as I am working from a completed draft.
As for abandoned work. They are mostly abandoned because the main characters didn't jell with me, they never become complete people in my head, if that makes sense. I still have the working outlines, and beginning drafts of about half-a-dozen. A couple I might return too one day, don't know. I would love to return to the very first attempt at novel I wrote, bad as it is, and make it readable lol....
