The next book

When do you start thinking about the next book you'll write? Are you the type to have over a dozen active stories in your head (waving to Brynn) or, like me, have no clue? My next idea usually doesn't filter in to my brain until I'm close to the end of my current WIP. For example, I'm thinking of doing a contemporary romance with a heroine who has some magical talents. I know her name will be Bea, she has two dogs and she bakes bread. I even know the title, but I don't have the "crunch" element that makes the story so different than a hundred others out there. Where is it? I'm waiting for the Muse to send it to me.
What about you? When is the next book a reality?
