I've been both.  i went through a stage where I was
starting a new language everytime I found a new idea.
I must have 10 or fifteen sketches laying around from
a 1-2 year period back in the early 90's.  Then I
concentrated more on Graavgaaln which I worked on for
a few years and used in a couple of translation
relays.

Then I hit on C-a which I've been working on for about
5 years now.  C-a has become one of those type-2
projects.  I have original tales, traslations of tales
from Aesop and Avianus, recipes, the first few
chapters of Matthew, fragmenets of several other books
of the Bible, some sketches of ideas for a litergy,
Christmas carols, Easter celebrations, saint's days,
preliminary work on coinage, government structures,
history, the prologue to Babylon-5, the Brady Bunch
theme song . . . oh and a dictionary with something
like 2500 entries in the C-a/Eng. side.

I suspect I'm not alone in this.  I think alot of
those who now have one obsessive project started out
tinkering with every new idea.  Of course some are
probably still working on that first language 25 years
later.  Others have probably been conlanging for
decades without ever settling on just one project for
any significant timespan.
