Stick To One Story:
It's just as it says, stick to one story at a time. If you think of new ideas write them down but don't start them until you're finished with the one you're currently working on.
I did this, I still do this from time to time and let's just say, it's not helpful to you in the slightest.
You get ideas mixed up, characters get thrown off, you completely abandon one for the other until finally, you just get too tired to continue.
You take a hiatus like I did, but soon that'll short break turns into more work on more stories, and then it becomes a year long break or in my case. A four year break, and then you lose some passion for writing and no longer can get back into it
That's what happened to me, and I don't want it to happen to you.
It can become stressful and leaves a bunch of people wondering when your story is next going to be updated, they might stay waiting for a year or two but they always forget and by the time you start updating again they are no longer interested or they don't remember what was going on, so they don't read back to see and just leave the story the way it is.
If you need to take a break I suggest a short one, six weeks at the most. Then go back, if you're taking a break longer than six weeks try recruiting a friend to continue the writing process for you, give them your ideas and character arcs and have them continue it the best they can. It does not have to be perfect and you can fix it later when you come back.
