Writing to the same text file across different (shared) actions

I have a Master script which calls different actions (from different locations). I would like to write certain log messages during execution of this Master script. I have implemented a scripting object and a text file as

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set  write_log =fso.CreateTextFile("C:\ExecutionLog.txt",true)
...
write_log.WriteLine("Execution Step 1 Completed)

Now, when a call is made to another (external) action, I am attempting to implement logging in the same file referenced above. I have tried the following, to no avail:

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set write_log = fso.OpenTextFile("C:\ExecutionLog.txt", ForAppending, False)
...
write_log.WriteLine("Execution Step 10 Completed)

My question is how to write into the same file in different actions?

If "to no avail" means "can't write to file in use by another process", you'll have to (Append)Open-Write-Close the file for each 'action' (script started by .Run or .Exec?) or even each single logging.
