My stories tend to have rather convoluted multiple plot lines. I always have an outline sketched in my head so I know where I'm going to end up. To keep the different plots going, I find it's best to work on one until you run into a roadblock, then switch to another. Usually by the time I've run that course, I can pick up the trouble spot and move one. When I've finished with the different plots, I weave them together and reach the conclusion. It sounds weird, but it usually works for me. However, I've been trying for five years to finish the final story in The Circle Game trilogy, and it's still sitting there waiting. Guess I need to take my own advice.
