I couldn't believe the books! Although I was a bit surprised to come out of the ladies' loo and find my husband rummaging through the bins ;)

Sounds like you've been incredibly productive! I'd love to be able to make things like that, but I tend to just tie things together...

I think I just assumed it would be as easy as fanfic, and forgot to really *build* my characters before writing. Now I've gone back to start that, it feels much easier. Since I'm a sprint writer, I'm not too worried about the word count yet. I can do about 4k a day without burning out, but only for a couple of weeks. We'll see what happens...
