That's never been an issue for me. I'm an idea person. I always have an idea to work on. That's also my Achilles' heel: I have a hard time revising because I'm always ready to move on.

Good question, but one I've learned to answer diplomatically because I try not to tell anyone while I'm working on something. So, my answer is always the thing I just finished, and if you want to read it, I'm posting chapter installments on wattpad and my blog each week for the next several months. It's called Shark Man, a middle grade novel.
