I’ll take this opportunity to introduce you to the Chola, a female capybara who loves to drink mate

What do you do when you have too many ideas? I’m in the middle of working on a novel but find my mind goes off on “what if” or “how ‘about this idea” tangents.

Depends what I’m currently working on.

If I’m writing a novel that is contracted for the idea gets jotted down for later poking, but only if it stays in my head for two days – that’s my touchstone for a decent idea. I got lucky enough to get an in as a house author, and I’m not going to be shorting them or running late with the words they’re paying me for.

If I’m writing my own stuff, well … sometimes I do the same, sometimes I’ll fire up a new doc and follow the rabbit. Depends how much I’m enjoying writing the current work but the diversions always net me something that can be used later, if they don’t pan out on their own.
