I've been writing for fifteen years on and off - mostly off. The children's stuff I've written (which I'm hawking here) was all written around ten years ago. I don't write for children anymore, but I have a science fiction novel for young adults (also written ten years ago) that I'm re-drafting - and that should be out soon. I want to put a price on it, unlike the other stuff below. I figure it's okay - better, anyway.
Aside from that, I've written five other novels. The first was hopeless, and I only have a printed copy of it, though I might get it scanned and try to do something with it. It would also likely fit into the young adult sci-fi genre.
My other stuff is all seeing the light of day under various pseudonyms.
At the moment, I'm trying to stick to 2000 words a day, six days a week. I usually don't make it, but I figure I'm rewriting also, so that's okay.
Since I started my 2000 word rule, I've written 27486 words. If I can stick to it, it would mean around 600 000 words a year. I once read a quote somewhere that said you need to write a million words before you're publishable.
At the moment I'm over the moon because The Stinging Tree is number 8 on Smashwords most downloaded children's books. I don't think it deserves to be there, but hopefully it will lead to readers for the novel I have coming out.
