My Google docs is a literal graveyard of unfinished books. A 14th century, post-Black Death in Europe, kind of graveyard.

Sounds like fertile mulch for digging through when there's time.

It always comes down to time.

I hope so. Some of them are even titled "Something that will be good eventually" 🤣

Three, but they are outlined only. All my brain cells are glued to my WIP.

I aspire to that level of discipline!😀

You mean active ones, for this pen name? About nine. Inactive ones and the other pen name I'm experimenting with... Let's not go there 😂

You're as bad as me.🤣

That seems like a reasonable, manageable number.

My number is 5 for the moment.

I'm currently writing book 2 of a series with 2 more to go. Then another in that same universe. A dark romance. And a serial killer fiction that could turn into a series.

Five feels like it's right on the edge of reasonable and getting out of hand.👍

I have one I'm about to finish, one I'm about to start, and one after that one. I have a handful of other ideas that might be something to pursue after the 4th novel is done. We'll see.

This also seems like a reasonable number.👍

4 complete drafts that need editing; I suspect I’ll abandon two and spare the world from being subjected to them.
3 completely unwritten books that float through my head from time to time.
Not sure how you manage eight. 🤪

One WIP. Six left in the series. One undrafted stand alone. One drafted start of another series. I didn't count the current WIP in the backlog.
I keep notes in a document or on post-its until I get a draft or at least a Save the Cat outline of the beats.

I have three I've started working on, though two are currently inactive projects... About three or four more that I've written summaries for and are waiting until I have the mental space to dedicate to them.

A healthy backlog!
