Can I ask you guys about process? I know the idea behind W1/S1 is consistency, and it used to work well for me when I was starting out. Now, though, I find my stories taking longer and longer. The last two I sold took ages to write: one was more than a year old, and had gone through many many transforming revisions, and the other had been written, abandoned, and then pretty completely revised six months later. The one I'm finishing this week was drafted & abandoned more than a year ago, and it's only now that I've figured out what it's about.
When you guys are W1/S1ing, do you really write an entirely new story in two weeks (or whatever)? Or are you just making sure you finish a story and sub it?
For me, it's all about creating new material and sending it out. I want to constantly be creating. And I needed something like this challenge to put my work out there without overthinking it.
