Daghain:
I've been "working on my novel" since I was fourteen (okay, granted, the "novel" has changed, merged, and evolved in the last 30 years) but I now feel that I am actually "working on my novel". I'm not giving out details, but I hope to actually get it done this year, and then figure out how to publish it. We'll see.
Taskill_Mckennan:
I've been writing since i was maybe 5. I've had these ideas crawling around in my head like little bugs all the time.
I struggle with my writing though, because I cannot get a main character I truly like that doesn't feel like a massive Expy or Captain Ersatz.
Thankfully with TDF at least i've discovered what Writing style appeals to me (Before reading them, I'd always done 3rd person omniscient. I find 1st person to be a much more fluid writing style)
I've always had a strong love for Sci-Fi, Epic Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, (Any)punk, and even Low fantasy, but I just cannot pin down my style or my genre and it's driving me Friggin' insane

So here goes nothing. Who knows how long I can maintain this furious pace but I aim to keep it up until I burn out or have to go get another job.
Have a blast guys and gals.
Remember to always follow the dream,

Ok, I must ask; Where do you find the time? 1.8k words is amazing, I was happy the one time I knocked out 600 words one night! :(
EDIT: Ok, I sold myself a little short, I wrote 1k words that night, but on most days I sit down to work on things its more like 300.
Snowleopard:
Madd you do the best that you can.
Everybody writes at different speeds and in different ways.

If I have the whole day free I can do between3,5-7.5k. Depending if I'm on a roll or not. Right now more free days than I will have next month. But I figure if I have two free days its 10k I can pump out. But its like. I park myself in front of the keyboard and deny myself reading or surfing priviliages. I have to go back and edit later but hey, that's they case with everyone.
